“Words Of Love”
By Zach Wood
Psalm 19:14 (NIV)
“May the words of my
mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, O Lord, my Rock
and my Redeemer.”
What’s the first thing on your mind when you wake up in the
morning? What immediately consumes your
heart as you awake? Some of us are
morning people and others are not. Some
of us it takes quite a while to “wake up” and be completely alert while others
just pop up out of bed and are ready to tackle the day.
What is first and foremost at the top of your mind and on
your heart as you get up? Is it all the
worries, cares and schedules for the day at hand? For many of us, it sure is. Or, do you awake and look forward to first
spending time in God’s Word and meditating on the things He wants you to
do? So often, we get up and start
hurrying through our day before we even get out the door. In such a fast-paced world today, it’s often
hard to get up and not get into a rushed routine.
When we get up and start rushing through our day, it’s so
much easier to not be focused on asking God to guide and direct our way. It’s also so much easier to not be alert
about what we say to others. How many of
us have gone through the day and messed up our conversations with others
because we have not asked God to guide and direct our words through the
day?
This Psalm from David is amazing. What a prayer David has to God that he would
use words that would bring glory and honor to God. All of us want to encourage others and bring
glory to God with what we do and say.
However, how many of us specifically ask God, as we begin our day, to
give us loving and caring words to share with others? It’s a simple concept, yet so hard to live
out each day because we are faced with so many pressures.
Be encouraged today and everyday after to pray these words
of David as you go through your daily routine.
May the words we say through our day bring encouragement and light to
others so they may see Christ through us.
