Words do hurt

Psalm 19:14 is one of my favorite verses in all of scripture and it is one that I try to say every morning when I wake up. King David says in this Psalm "Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer."
How much more effective would we be as followers of Christ if we applied this Psalm to our everday life. There has been many times in my life where I didn't let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heat be acceptable in the sight of God.
I have challenge my church to memorize this Palm and ask God to make it real to them so that they wouldn't just have head knowledge but heart knowledge. Proverbs 23: 7 says "so as a man thinks in his hear, so is he."
Remember the childhood saying, "Sticks and stones will break my bones but names will never hurt me." Well words and names do hurt and they hurt deeply.
So starting today, memorize Psalm 19:14 and ask the sovereign Lord of the universe to make it real to you by applying it to your ever day life.
