12-November        Ask For First Things First

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.

We are created in the image of God. He creates with the words of His mouth. We create with our words too. So here’s a worthy prayer — “Lord, help me to control my tongue and keep the things I say in line with your Word.” We’d better get help with the “meditation of our hearts”, too.

David knew of his need in this area. He was well aware of the power of the tongue and the impossibility of taming it on his own. He sought God and asked for help. The Holy Spirit in us offers that same help. Quit struggling on your own and ask for some supernatural, Holy Spirit, Christ-in-you assistance with your mouth! Then you’ll be
able to create with your Words just like your Father.

 

DECLARE THIS:
• My heart and my mouth belong to the Lord and He will make them pure and acceptable in His sight.
• I am unable to help myself but I belong to the One who saves me. I am redeemed.
• By faith I receive God’s power to control my mouth and line up my words with the Word of God.
