WORDS

I appreciate every morning when you pray the prayer, "Let the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart be acceptable to You, O Lord." Whatever is in your heart will eventually come out of your mouth. My servant, David, knew this. He wrote: For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O LORD, thou knowest it altogether (Psalm 139:4)

I know what you are going to speak before you speak it because I know your heart. This is why it is so important to meditate on My Word all the day long. When My Word comes out of your mouth, lives can be changed. At the same time, the enemy will give you words to speak during the day that could harm those you encounter during this day. The enemy will have no success in doing this, if your mind is stayed upon Me and you meditate on My Word.

The best defense against the enemy is a great offense. The enemy wants to use your mouth as a gun to fire harmful words like bullets to others. Once words come out of your mouth, they cannot be retrieved. The harm done is done.

I urge you today to give your heart to Me and allow Me to speak to you My words all the day long. Worry is negative meditation. Instead of letting your mind get into a worry whirl, meditate on My Word day and night and I will cause your way to prosper and your day to be fruitful.

JOSHUA 1:8
