Words ( Colossians 4 v 6 )

Here is a prayer, 'May the words of my mouth,and the meditation of my heart,be pleasing in your sight, O Lord , my Rock,and my Redeemer', ( Psalm 19 v 14 ).It is a simple prayer,yet very challenging ,for it deals with two aspects of our being,our words,and our hearts.Consider how many wrong words being spoken at this time,hateful words,vain words,filthy words,spiteful words,foolish words, deceptive words,harsh words.Our Saviour said, 'But I tell you that men will have to give an account on the day of judgement for every careless word they have spoken. For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned'.( Matthew 12 v 36 - 37 ) Here Jesus is responding to evil things said about Him by religious leaders,there is coming a day in which they will be judged,and on that day they will be speechless. The great prophet Isaiah confessed, that he was a man of unclean lips , and I live among a people of unclean lips ( Isaiah 6 v 5 ), Consider, as Christians is our speech ,any different than the non-Christians?,do we take the name of the Lord in vain?,do we tell lies?,how many sinful words have you spoken?.There is forgiveness as Isaiah experienced, C P V 6 - 7 .Let us remember if we confess our sins that God is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins( 1 John 1 v 9 ),even the sinful words of our mouth.
