Sweet Honey

“May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing to you, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer.” 
- Psalm 19:14 NLT

I don’t know about you. But there always seems to be something that sets me off these days… or at least tries to. 

From the news (your choice of providers), the economy, money, politics, crazy drivers, traffic, slow drivers in the fast lane, sports commentators that choose to yell and argue like they do on the 24 hour news channels (again, you choose the provider), did I mention crazy drivers and heavy traffic on the interstate?

You get the picture.

“Pleasant words are a honeycomb: sweet to the taste and health to the body.” - Proverbs 16:24 HCSB

So today… let’s begin to focus on on how we respond.
Let’s focus on the words that we say. 
May they be glorifying to the Lord. 
May they please Him and lift Him high.

Let’s do a heart check. 
What are the meditations of our heart? 
Are we dwelling on Jesus, 
Living for Him, 
Glorifying Him?

May the words of our soul be sweeter than honey dripping from the comb.

May we bring Him all glory and honor and praise. 
For He is worthy.

What are we dwelling on?
What are our triggers?
How do we choose to respond?

With vile and anger?
Or with with Faith, Hope and Love?

“So too, though the tongue is a small part of the body, it boasts great things. Consider how large a forest a small fire ignites. And the tongue is a fire. The tongue, a world of unrighteousness, is placed among the parts of our bodies. It pollutes the whole body, sets the course of life on fire, and is set on fire by hell.

Every sea creature, reptile, bird, or animal is tamed and has been tamed by man, but no man can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison. We praise our Lord and Father with it, and we curse men who are made in God’s likeness with it. 1Praising and cursing come out of the same mouth. My brothers, these things should not be this way.” 
- James 3:5-10 HCSB
