“Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
Be acceptable in Thy sight,
O LORD, my rock and my Redeemer.”
Psalm 19:14
In my Bible reading today, I am in Psalm 19. This is the verse that spoke to my heart and soul.
When I am worrying about something, especially when it is out of my control, then I am not letting the meditation of my heart be acceptable in His sight. When I speak harsh words to my children out of fatigue and frustration, then I am not letting the words of my mouth be acceptable in His sight.
And when I criticize my husband, then I am not letting the words of my mouth (or the meditation of my heart) be acceptable in His sight.
I will keep this verse in the front of my mind and pause before I speak and choose to trust instead of worry and use my words to build up instead of tear down!
