“Are Our Words and Meditations Acceptable To Him?

Lord I pray
 
Psalm 19:14 (AMP)

“Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart

be acceptable in Your sight, O Lord, my

[firm, impenetrable] Rock and my Redeemer.”

 
 
 
The psalmist was praying, and his desire was that his words and meditations that were in his heart would be acceptable to the Lord.   Let us look at what the word acceptable as it is defined by the dictionary.
 
 
 
 

capable or worthy of being accepted,

pleasing to the receiver; satisfactory; agreeable; welcome

 
 
 
 
Lord, we ask you today, are our words worthy of you accepting and are they pleasing to Your ears?   Are they satisfactory and agreeable to Your will?   These are some questions that should cross our minds often.  I believe that these questions would keep us out of much trouble that could easily be avoided. Many times we are quick to think things or form opinions based on our first impression. Maybe you are thinking things and speaking things based on what you have seen in the past.   Many times our words get us into trouble because we fail to first seek Him as to how we are to respond.  Think about it….if our prayer be, “Are my words and meditations acceptable to You Lord?” and the Lord responds to you, “No, they are not!”   Just think, how much time and problems we could avoid.
 
 
 
 
 
It is only God that knows you all too well. He understands how you tend to think and react. He knows every hurt and pain that is still in the healing process within you. He is well able to help you hold your tongue and alter your thought process. It is He that can help us to be rock solid in every area of our life because He is the Rock! Look to Him as often as you need to be your Helper today that you may think thoughts and speak words that are pleasing, and acceptable  to Him.
 
 
 
 
Lord, we desire that our words are blessing to you and edifying to those around us.   Help us to be mindful of what is acceptable to You whether it be in word, thought or deed.
