What comes out of my mouth has
more effect on my life than most anything else. As powerful as we know that
words are, we carelessly spew them out to our own harm or that of others. On
the other hand, we often fail to release the power of life that words contain.
Simply stated, life and death are in the tongue. Holy Father, my lips are
Yours. Make my mouth a portal of life, not death; blessing not nuisance.
A serious pursuit of godliness requires an equally serious renunciation of worldliness. Too often, we measure spirituality with false scales. While being wisely selective with our public vices we are less so with our private attitudes and perspectives. In reality, it is the thoughts and intents of the heart where the greatest battles must be waged; our actions will ultimately align with the condition of our hearts. Lord God, You know me inside out, You are not fooled by human facades. Plow my heart with Your Word and Spirit and leave nothing unturned. Refresh my inward man that I may outwardly glorify You in all places at all times.
