Be Pleasing

Have you ever been guilty of saying something that you knew you shouldn't say? You know, those little words that everyone else said but you knew you shouldn't? I am sure most of us have.

Have you ever had thoughts that you knew were inappropriate, displeasing, maybe even unsettling? We know we shouldn't think it but we feel justified in some way; that we have a right to feel it and to think it. Again, I am sure that most of us have.

Today's word is Psalm 19:14, NKJV, which reads, "Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart Be acceptable in Your sight, O LORD, my strength and my Redeemer."

Today's word is a great reminder for me that GOD is the silent listener to every conversation, even the ones that I think are completely enclosed in my head. He is always with me and hears every word I say and every that I have. If I will concentrate on Him more, I bet I will find myself saying inappropriate things less.

I know, it's hard sometimes. I am as guilty as anyone. But, I can't do it in my strength, and I don't have to. Today's word also reminds us that GOD is our strength; He will give us what we need to overcome whatever may be tripping us up. I want to be pleasing.

Be Blessed,
