Read It:

R. (John 6:63b) Your words, Lord, are Spirit and life.
The law of the LORD is perfect,
refreshing the soul.
The decree of the LORD is trustworthy,
giving wisdom to the simple.
R. Your words, Lord, are Spirit and life.
The precepts of the LORD are right,
rejoicing the heart.
The command of the LORD is clear,
enlightening the eye.
R. Your words, Lord, are Spirit and life.
The fear of the LORD is pure,
enduring forever;
The ordinances of the LORD are true,
all of them just.
R. Your words, Lord, are Spirit and life.
Let the words of my mouth and the thought of my heart
find favor before you,
O LORD, my rock and my redeemer.
R. Your words, Lord, are Spirit and life.

Reflect on It: The words of the Lord are Spirit and Life. I picked the Psalm today because it really just spoke to my heart. His word is Living and they are our life! "Let the word of my mouth and the thought of my heart find favor before you". We talk so often every day, we use our words to express how we feel and the things we are thinking. Are the words of our mouth and the thoughts of our heart finding favor with the Lord? Jesus spoke the truth, he spoke words that mattered. Everything he said was thought about and everything he said had a meaning and purpose behind it. If we lived our lives that way, there would be a whole lot less confusion on our world. The best way to know what God is speaking to us, to know his words is through prayer and reading Scripture. Let us spend today, listening to what the Lord is saying.

Pray about It: Lord, help me to hear your voice today and speak ONLY words that glorify you!

Live It! Challenge: Go look this psalm up in the Bible and read it DIRECTLY from Scripture. The Psalm above is: Psalm 19:8,9,10,15.
