May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing to you, O Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer.
Psalms 19:14
NLT Bible
This verse should be our prayer each day. It is said that our thoughts become words and then actions, so as believers, it is imperative that they be pleasing and acceptable to God. Think about it for just a moment........how often have we allowed our minds to be filled with hateful and denigrating thoughts? We are upset with someone and our minds become overcrowded with impure and unkind thoughts towards that person. We have to guard our thoughts, let them be pure, holy and good and we can only do this by keeping our hearts and minds centred on Jesus. There are some people who may be guilty of spewing hateful words to those around them, yelling, insulting, berating and inflicting hurt and pain. This is utterly displeasing to God.
We need to acknowledge our shortcomings and rededicate our lives to God. We must be mindful and cautious about what we take in because it impacts what we think and ultimately say. Everything we listen to, read and watch must be pure, uplifting and edifying. It is imperative that we allow the Word of God to penetrate our hearts and minds and fill us with wisdom, so that our thoughts and words will be pleasing and acceptable to God.
Thank you Lord for being my Rock and my Redeemer. May all that I think and say be pleasing, acceptable and bring honour and glory to Your holy Name. Forgive me for the times I've failed. I rededicate my life to You this day. I love you, Jesus. Amen!
Be Blessed!
