“O accept the freewill offerings of my mouth, O Lord, and teach me Your ordinances. My life is continually in my hand, yet I do not forget Your law.” (Psalm 119:108-109)
How do you speak? Are the words you speak those which are pleasing in the sight of the Lord. Are they blessings or curses? Come into the presence of the Lord and let your mouth and mind be guarded by the precepts of the Lord. Know that your life is continuously in the presence of the Lord. He who made you knows you better than you know yourself. He knows the plans He has for you.
Lord, guide me ever deeper into the mystery of the faith. Lead me step by step in the way I need to go. Guide my thoughts and mouth to think and speak that which will always be acceptable to freely speak. Lead me, O Lord, in the way I need to go that I would go the way You have established for eternity. Let me learn how to be one who praises with my mouth day and night that I may be in Your presence always.
Lord Jesus, You have come to establish the way of everlasting life. Lead me this day, Lord Jesus, that I would now and forever abide in the goodness of Your grace and mercy. Teach me through meditation to ponder on all that I do that I would forever hold fast to the goodness You have come to bring. Lead me, Lord, in the way of salvation that I may forever abide in You and You in me. Amen.
