It's easy to pray for our words to be pleasing to God.
But Psalm 19:14 goes deeper.
"May these words of my mouth and this meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, Lord, my Rock, and my Redeemer."
Not just my words, Lord.
My thoughts
My motives
My reactions
My attitudes
The things I say when I'm frustrated
The things I think
Because what fills the heart eventually finds its way to the mouth.
So today, may we pause before we speak,
Before we respond
Before we react.
And ask...
LORD, IS THIS PLEASING TO YOU?
May our words bring life instead of wounds.
May our thoughts be anchored in truth instead of fear and lies.
May our hearts be surrendered instead of consumed by bitterness, pride, and worry.
And when we fail, because we will, may we remember who He is:
OUR ROCK
OUR REDEEMER
OUR REFUGE
Lord, make my heart a place where You are pleased to dwell.
Let what comes out of me reflect what you are doing within me.
May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in Your sight.
