What is Coming out of Your Mouth?

Psalm 19:14  "Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer."

This verse was part of my morning reading the other day and was an excellent reminder.  This is the desire of my heart; that my life be pleasing and acceptable to God.  The question is, how do I assure that my speech and heart meditations are such that God can and will accept them?

I have heard and probably you have also a criticism of a teaching method, all you have to do is memorize what they told you and spit it back out to them on the test.  Well, if you do that with Scripture, you have made an excellent start at what is acceptable to God.  When we memorize Scripture and meditate on it, we are learning God's thoughts and passion.  It results in a fellowship communication with Him that is more than a gimme, gimme prayer.  It is a heart to heart communication, resulting a deepening desire to know Him more.

It then spills over into communing with Him about everyday life.  The line between sacred and secular life is blurred and all of life is sacred.

This evening my wife had Christmas hymns and carols playing on the radio.  This also feeds and nourishes the soul.

Keep looking up and commune with your Creator/Redeemer.
