Wednesday, September 26th, 2007 – let them be accepted

Hello everyone,
How are you doing on this day? I hope well. Reading through a book the other day, the author was talking about how sometimes our words are so so harsh that they kind of drive people away. Then the author recommended that if this was your case, you could pray along the lines of Psalms 19v14:

“Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in Thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.”

And this is a prayer that we so often say and sometimes sing, that it could be easy to forget the fact that it is an actual prayer and a cry out to God that Father, let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in Your sight, O LORD, who is my strength and who redeems me. Basically, I cannot do it on my own but I really do want to please You in the things I say and the things I think, knowing that upon Your return, I will account for every idle word that I speak, and knowing too that out of the abundance of my heart, my mouth is going to speak, so Lord, my strength and my redeemer, let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Thy sight, in Jesus mighty name, amen.
