S – May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to you,
Lord, my rock and my Redeemer.
Psalms 19:14 CSB
O – Commentary:
acceptable The Hebrew word used here, ratson, often indicates God’s acceptance of a sacrifice (Lev 1:3; 19:5; Isa 56:7). The psalmist offers up his words, hoping they will be pleasing to Yahweh.
A – What would our speech and thoughts look like if we thought of them as an offering to the Lord? It doesn’t mean they would be all about God. It does mean they would have God as the center. We would think and speak from God first and not our being. Our involvement with people and situations would reflect Christ more than ourselves.
R – Lord, thank you for today and the opportunity to walk with you. We invite You to be the center of our thoughts and words. This will allow us to grow in your character and reflect your love in an authentic, tangible way. Give us the courage and strength to do this today.
