Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my
heart, be acceptable in Thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my Redeemer. Psalm, Chapter 19, verse 14.
I have said something similar to this in church for
years, but do I always think about what I’m really saying or do I just rattle
it off in a routine fashion? I hate to
admit it, but sometimes the latter is true.
Yet, I would like the words that come out of my mouth and all my
thoughts to be ones that glorify God and make Him proud of me.
I also find myself thinking and saying things that
don’t glorify God and don’t make me the best example of my love for Him. Maybe if I put more thought into what I’m
saying at church, I might be a better example of what I think and say
elsewhere.
Here are some related passages:
*And He called
the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and understand: Not that which goeth
into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this
defileth a man. Matthew, Chapter 15,
verses 10-11.
*Do not ye yet
understand, that whatsoever entereth in at the mouth goeth into the belly, and
is cast out into the draught? But those
things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they
defile the man. For out of the heart
proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false
witness, blasphemies: These are the things which defile a man: but to eat with
unwashen hands defileth not a man.
Matthew, Chapter 15, verses 17-20.
