The Daily Blueprint for 10/13/10
Keep Our Lips
PSALM 141:3
Set a watch, O Lord, before my mouth;
keep the door of my lips!

This past Sunday our pastor talked about the power of the tongue - how all it takes is a word to harm someone very badly - our mouths are the door way to what's in our heart - what we say - says a lot more about us then we might thing - Often in today's society you will hear things you didn't used to hear - you cannot watch a sitcom without hearing at least one word that we would not want our children to hear - or would we feel comfortable if our pastor would walk in during such a show - my purpose today is not to slam anyone for we all are guilty - but what's the answer? I believe it is found in today's verse- let's ask GOD to guard our lips! HE will do that because He loves us - and He knows it's not what goes into a man that defiles him - it's what comes out - and what is buried deep in our hearts will enviably come out - trying to erase the damage of words is very tough - words can end relationships and start wars - words can break up dear friendships and cause people to lose their family - words have the power to save and condemn - have you thought about what your words are saying! I was convicted when the subject of GOSIP came up - I was at first like this - surely I don't GOSIP - but the more I thought about it I sadly found it to be true - but I confessed and moved on - asking GOD to guard my lips - He is all we need to have control over our mouths - but we must give them over to HIM - allowing HIM to change our hearts thereby change our speech!

WORD TO THE WISE:
PEOPLE WILL SEE WHAT YOU DO MORE THEN WHAT YOU SAY
BECAUSE OF CHRIST
OUR HEARTS ARE CLEANSED AND GOOD THINGS NOW COME OUT
