May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, O Lord, my strength and my Redeemer. Psalm 19:14Hey guys have you ever seen your moms make iced tea? What does she do? She takes water and then adds iced-tea mix to it right? But can you tell me something? Once we mix the powder and water can they be separated? No!! right?
Did you know that very same thing is true of the words we speak? Have you ever said something that hurt someone's feelings? Once you have said it, it is said. You can't take it back just like you can’t separate the water from the iced-tea mix. That is why we need to be very careful about the things we say. The Bible says, "He who holds his tongue is wise."
All of you know the children's rhyme that says, "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but names can never hurt me." That sounds nice, but it just isn't true. Words can hurt. The Bible says, "Reckless words pierce like a sword." Our words can cut others heart like a knife. We all know that God hears every word we say and he knows every thought we have in our mind. It is very important for us to be careful about the things we think and say.
The Bible says, "Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, O Lord, my strength and my Redeemer." Once we have said it, we can't take it back, so let's make sure that our words are pleasing to God.
