Thought for the week
Psalm 139:4
Before a word is on my tongue
you know it completely oh Lord.
It has so been laid on my heart what a weapon the tongue can be so many times, I am one that is quick to speak and alot of times have regretted what has come out of this mouth. I was at a pre-womens conference meeting this past Wednesday and the basis of our conference is going to be Psalm 139 (which is just a great Psalm) but what God had jump off the page at me was verse 4... What a thought that the God of all creation knows what I am going to say before it is even on my tongue. That lead to me pondering how disappointed at times He is with me. The phrase came to mind with some of the things that I had said is "Your going to kiss your momma with that mouth?", as I sat at the meeting just thinking of what I had done with my tongue even that day WOW!! I know we all struggle with our mouths and what comes out of it, sometimes it is out of anger, sometimes out of fear, jealousy, gossip, (and starting the sentence with "I not trying to be mean or anything doesn't count) insecurity or just plain stupid stuff. I think that it is so humbling that the God of all creation cares enough about me to know what is going to roll off my tongue and that He cares if it is uplifting to Him or something that should not be coming out of my mouth. He cared enough to die for me, taking all the stupid stuff that I say to the cross for me. I guess if He has done that for me, I should be able to think before I speak for Him and try and make Kingdom differences here on earth..
Keepping my eyes on Him =)
