As Yeshua said, &#8220;the good person out of the good treasure of his heart produces good, and the evil person out of his evil treasure produces evil, for out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks&#8221; (Luke 6:45). The Hebrew word for evil (i.e., <em>ra&#8217;<\/em>: \u05e8\u05b7\u05e2) also means sad or \u201cheartbreaking.\u201d We must learn to discipline ourselves to think good thoughts since that brings us before the light and blessing of the Father of Lights (\u05d0\u05b2\u05d1\u05b4\u05d9 \u05d4\u05b8\u05d0\u05d5\u05b9\u05e8\u05d5\u05b9\u05ea) from which every good flows (James 1:17). Wisdom is essential for right thinking, and therefore it is important to guard your mind against alien and godless thoughts (1 Pet. 5:8). We gain wisdom by studying Torah which is called the &#8220;Tree of Life&#8221; (\u05e2\u05b5\u05e5\u05be\u05d7\u05b7\u05d9\u05bc\u05b4\u05d9\u05dd) and by speaking forth its truth, as it says: &#8220;Healing speech is a tree of life, but deceitful speech shatters the spirit&#8221; (Prov. 15:4). Knowing the truth of God and the reason for our existence sobers the mind and dispels the ways of folly. Negative character traits are formed by carelessly admitting alien thoughts into the heart. Genuine <em>teshuvah<\/em> leads to life, wherein the heart returns to the truth and is delivered from the darkness of the lie.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hebrew Podcast<\/strong><br \/>\nPsalm 19:14 Hebrew reading:<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2937\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hebrew4christians.com\/training\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/psalm19-14-analysis.gif?resize=579%2C602&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"579\" height=\"602\" \/><\/p>\n<audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-2936-1\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"https:\/\/hebrew4christians.com\/training\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/psalm19-14-jjp.mp3?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/hebrew4christians.com\/training\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/psalm19-14-jjp.mp3\">https:\/\/hebrew4christians.com\/training\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/psalm19-14-jjp.mp3<\/a><\/audio>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/hebrew4christians.com\/Blessings\/Blessing_Cards\/psalm19-14-lesson.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Psalm 19:14 Hebrew lesson card<\/a> (pdf)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The sages have said, &#8220;From a person&#8217;s mouth you can tell who they are,&#8221; which means that the words we speak reveal the inner condition of the soul and whether the Spirit of God is in control of our thinking or our lower nature&#8230; Because we are created in the image of God (i.e., b\u2019tzelem [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":106,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5,15,2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2936","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-daily-dvar","category-hebrew-reading-practice","category-torah"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hebrew4christians.com\/training\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2936","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hebrew4christians.com\/training\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hebrew4christians.com\/training\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hebrew4christians.com\/training\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/106"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hebrew4christians.com\/training\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2936"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/hebrew4christians.com\/training\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2936\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2940,"href":"https:\/\/hebrew4christians.com\/training\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2936\/revisions\/2940"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hebrew4christians.com\/training\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2936"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hebrew4christians.com\/training\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2936"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hebrew4christians.com\/training\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2936"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
