Day 18
Warning!! Clean up on aisle 1. Our mouths need a good cleaning. Well maybe it is just mine.
There is no shortness of verses in the bible that talk about out purifying our mouths. No wonder our Grandmothers threatened to wash them out with soap. Again, maybe that was just mine!
The goal is that our mouth, what we say and the condition of our heart should be acceptable to God. How are you doing this area?
Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer. Psalm 19:14
God says, "Then I will purify the lips of the peoples, that all of them may call on the name of the LORD and serve him shoulder to shoulder. Zephaniah 3:9
He wants to remove anything unholy from our mouth so that we might praise HIM!
We also will be held accountable for the things that we say! There is going to be a long list for me.
I tell you, on the day of judgment people will give account for every careless word they speak, Matthew 12:36
Our speech should build others up, not tear them down!
Let no corrupt talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear. Ephesians 4:29
If you have trouble with having a holy mouth then this verse is for both of us!
Set a guard, O Lord, over my mouth; keep watch over the door of my lips! Psalm 141:3
Prayer
We confess to you Lord that we have not been diligently watching over what we say. Set a guard over our lips. Remove the old and replace it with new encouraging and building up language.
