Psalm 19:14 "May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in Your sight, O Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer."
Jesus words to the Pharisees in Matt. 12 were very clear and totally tie into the Psalmist's words here. Jesus said "For out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks."
It's one thing to "hold my tongue", or "watch my words", or to follow the good manners taught by parents "If you don't have anything nice to say...". It's something altogether different to cultivate a heart of joyful gratitude! A heart that looks FIRST for God's best in everyone and everything. A heart that overflows with the abundance of recognizing God's endless and rich blessings in my life everyday!
I want my words to reflect a heart like that - even more so I want to be sure I am cultivating a heart like His!
