May
The Words Of My Mouth
And
The Meditation Of My Heart
Be
Pleasing To You.
Scripture
Psalm
19
13 Keep your
servant from deliberate sins!
Don’t let them control me.
Then I will be free of guilt
and innocent of great sin.
Don’t let them control me.
Then I will be free of guilt
and innocent of great sin.
O Lord,
my rock and my redeemer.
Observation
Our
words can be weapons.
I
know how mean I have been at times and how hurtful some of my words
have been that have come out of my mouth. Don't act shocked.
If
you were to be honest with me you have probably blurted out some
hateful hurtful ugly remarks as well.
Those
words come from our sinful hearts.
What
could possibly be worse than our ugly words … the meditation of our
hearts, what we think about when we are not walking close to the
Lord.
All
of it starts in our hearts before it comes out of our mouths. So join
me today in making Psalm 19:12-14 our prayer!
Application
I
am asking God to keep me away from deliberate stupid sins. I am
asking Him to help me to say things and think about things that
please Him and to help me to say things that will build someone up
and not tear them down or harm them or destroy them. How about You?
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, how
can I know all the sins lurking in my heart? Cleanse me from
these hidden faults. Keep
your servant from deliberate sins! Don’t let them control me. Then
I will be free of guilt and innocent of great sin. May the words of
my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing to you,
O Lord,
my rock and my redeemer. Help me use my words to build people up and
to encourage them.
I
pray for anyone that may be reading this blog today. Give them the
strength to put these verses into practice. Help us to please
You with what we say and what we think about! Help us to encourage
someone today!
