Psalm 19:14
May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Your sight O Lord my rock and my redeemer.
She said, "We live in a day and time where our rights sometimes take precedence over our pursuit of righteousness."
As I continued on I came across this verse in
I Peter 4:11
Whoever speaks, is to do so as one who is speaking the utterances of God; ... so that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belongs the glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.
I was reminded of something I heard Beth Moore speak on once in Proverbs 31: 26
She opens her mouth with wisdom, and on her tongue is the law of kindness.
Ephesians 4: 29
Let no unwholesome word proceed from your mouth, but only such a word as is good for edification according to the need of the moment, so that it will give grace to those who hear.
How many times a day do I find myself uttering a compliant instead of a word that will edify or bring glory to God? Lysa challenged herself to "find the good", to "be the woman who is lavishly expressive of that good...who rarely, rarely, rarely utters that complaint."
