Also, in my reading through Psalms, I memorized Psalm 141:3, 'Set a guard over my mouth, O Lord, keep watch over the door of my lips.' That has been my prayer.
SO, when reading through Proverbs this morning, I stumbled upon a verse that refers to both of these things in my life:
Proverbs 22:11, "He who loves a pure heart and whose speech is gracious will have the king for his friend."
What a challenge... a 'pure heart' is something I want So Badly, yet always seem to fall short of. And as for gracious speech... well, I've failed before.
BUT, I don't have to fail today. And neither do you.
Honor our Lord will our purity and our words today!
