Words of our mouth

“Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart Be acceptable in Your sight, O LORD my strength and my Redeemer.”

Psalm 19:14 (New King James version)

“‘I saw a buffalo travel so fast that at one point it even overtook my car on the highway !! “ . A buffalo overtaking a car ? On the highway ? Impossible ! Nope… Its true… Scroll down to the end of theis post to see the proof :-)

I think all of us have a lawyer kind of thinking pattern within us. We are so convicted that lying is wrong. We are so convicted that cheating on taxes is wrong , we are so convicted on so many things that we try to find loop holes to make what we are doing seem right (or at least we try to convince ourselves of it :-) )

Did I see the buffalo travel faster than the car at one point ? Yes . The points I chose to omit , the buffalo was in a carrier and I had slowed down to take this picture. Play on words. We try to play on our words and get away with a lot of things… Here is the point we often forget … HE KNOWS ALL !! He knows the meditation of our heart.

We may say the most wonderful things, but if it comes from a heart that is filled with bitterness , or anger or unforgiveness then it doesn’t matter what is said. He looks deep within ! Now the converse of this is not true – saying negative things but having a good heart is ok ! We read in Matthew 12: 35-36 , “A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good things and an evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth evil things. But I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment.” We read in Ephesians 5: 4 that foolish talk, coarse jesting should not even be remotely associated to us.

When we get together as friends in the office , in college how are our words governed ? When we pray and know that every word spoken is heard by the Holy of holies, the great I AM , we know that the angels are around , we know that by the authority given in Christ Jesus to us , demons will tremble … when we know all that in prayer , why do we think at other times of the day that our words do not make a difference ?

‘Lord we pray Father that You will govern our every word and our every thought . Teach us Father to be able to truly surrender every aspect our lives to You. In Jesus Name , Amen’
