Get Your Head Straight, Then Your Heart Will Be Good

“Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Your sight, O Lord, my [firm, impenetrable] Rock and my Redeemer.” Are the words of your mouth and the meditation of your heart acceptable in the Lord’s sight? It may not be as hard as you think for that to be a reality in your life. Our thoughts and meditations can go into action before we check them to be sure the thoughts should be allowed to be spoken, or acted upon. There’s no sin in the thoughts entering your mind, it’s what we do with those thoughts after they come into our mind. Jesus was tempted like that when He walked the earth. He never yielded to the bad thoughts that came into His mind, and we don’t have to either. What happens to some of us is, once a thought or idea comes into our head, we think, we’ll I thought it so I may as well do it. There’s no sin in the temptation of that thought, otherwise Jesus Christ would have been in sin. “This high priest of ours (Jesus), understands our weaknesses for he faced all of the same testings we do, yet he did not sin”. He did it by working God’s word. Every area of life is dealt with in the bible. Get the knowledge and live above your bad thoughts, then the words of your mouth and the meditation of your heart will be acceptable.
