“May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing to you, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer.” Psalms 19:14 NLT
It is so easy to slip into negative thoughts and words. Yesterday I undertook a very hard exam. It left me emotionally and physically shattered as I had poured intense mental energy into it. It was some hours later that I regained my composure. Whilst I said it was hard and I was shattered I have no way of knowing the result for another week. For me to confess failure would be stupid. I cannot assess my performance on my emotion. I studied before hand, and gave it my best. I have the benefit of the whisper of God, He comforts me with the knowledge all will be well.
The fact that I am still having to trust the Lord for my finances is not my own failure, but rather God teaching me about provision. I may need to know that He will supply in the future. The silence on this front is God’s business, not mine. Therefore I must harness my confession and thoughts.
For several months now I have been constrained to ministering twice daily to a woman with a skin condition. It has been a trial, however, yesterday she said she thinks she has turned the corner, her skin is improving. Praise God! Whilst I have been able to pray for her shoulders that have been suffering with arthritis, this skin problem has chased her to the Lord. I have had a part to play in that. My words have been important.
Today Lord May my words bring you honour! Amen!
