Our Scripture reading today is Psalm 141:3, "Set a watch, O LORD, before my mouth;
keep the door of my lips."
The emphasis of the morning in my Bible reading is the tongue and how
God wants me to use it for His glory. Here, the Psalmist is asking the
LORD for help in guarding what comes out of his mouth. “Nature having made my lips
to be a door to my words, let grace keep that door, that no word may be suffered to go out
which may any way tend to the dishonour of God, or the hurt of others.” (Henry, cited in Spurgeon)
We have an opportunity today to use our mouth to share the Gospel with others. There
are thousands of people in our communities that need to know
the message that brings about salvation. Satan would love for us to keep
our mouths closed and not share the love of God. It is time to seek the LORD
for boldness and be obedient to the work of the Great Commission.
