Psalms 19:14 Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, O Lord, My strength and my redeemer.

Did you know that God sees our words

Growing up we’ve all heard our mothers and fathers say this phrase, “if you can’t find anything nice to say, then don’t say anything at all.”

What parent hasn’t said that, but that bit of advice isn’t really correct. David said, let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to you, O Lord... David recognized that there was a connection between his words and his thoughts.

In the Book of 1 Sam. it tells us that man looks at the outward appearance, but God looks at the heart, therefore, even if we don’t say those hurtful things to someone but it still rests in our hearts it’s still displeasing to God.

God is not a God of categories, he doesn’t see a little white lie or a big fat lie, he sees sin. That’s what we have got to remember is that sin is sin in the eyes of God.

So understand this my friend, It’s not about not saying it, it’s about not letting it rest on our hearts. Because the word of God is very clear that out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks.

Prayer focus: To not let the negative and sinful thoughts rest on your hearts, because God sees our words!
