“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 19:14  (KJV)

Wonder what we would say if we paused before we spoke? Wonder what we would mediate on if we remembered that God sees our hearts?  Psalm 19 reminds us that our words and meditations are important to God.  Our hearts should be pure before God, and an unguarded heart is never acceptable in His sight. “Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.” (Proverbs 4:23).  Have you ever noticed how our hearts line up with our words, and what’s in our heart will many times flow out of our lips?  That’s why we want to make sure that our meditation is acceptable in God’s sight. The more of the Word of God we have in us, the purer our hearts will be.  The more of the Word we have in us, the busier we will be thinking about it and meditating on it.  We must chose carefully what we speak. God hears our every word.  Are we contaminating our spirit with the words we speak?  Are the words of our mouth and the meditations of our heart pleasing to God?  God’s Word keeps our hearts pure. What more perfect way to guard our hearts than to pray Psalm 19:14 every day.

“Lord, let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, O Lord, my strength, and my Redeemer.”

For His Glory
