Psalms 19:14 Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength, and my redeemer.
Last week I finished an eight week bible study group at the local Baptist church that focused on this verse. It has now become one of my favorites.
The "meditations of my heart", what we think about and say to ourselves, is something we, as women, need to pay special attention. How often are we negative, hurtful, and overly harsh on ourselves? We would never say aloud to someone else what we say to ourselves.
This scripture is a reminder that not only our words spoken, but our words thought to ourselves, need to be positive, uplifting, and acceptable to God. In Young Womens we learn, "We are daughters of our Heavenly Father, who loves us...", then let us remember to be kind to ourselves in words and in thought. Let us not focus on our failures and flaws, but on the finish, returning to live with Him again.
beautiful post...I love the beginning of the YW theme...I always remind my teenage daughter about it when i take her to school in the morning...and true...all the women should remember that "we are all daughters of our Heveanly Father..."and he does love us. Thanks for the beautiful thought this beautiful morning.
