Listen to the Word

May these words of my mouth and this meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer. (Psalm 19:14)

Psalm 19:14 announces the profound truth that your words and thoughts matter to God. You can actually bring him pleasure with what comes out of your mouth and what goes on in your heart. We will soak in this rich verse each day this week. Today, notice one of the names for God: He is your Redeemer. You were in danger, and he rescued you. You were a slave, and he purchased you and set you free. The fact that the all-powerful, all-perfect God is listening to what you say and probing into your deepest thoughts sounds absolutely terrifying - until you remember that he loves you so much that he paid the price for your pardon. God is your Redeemer.

Live the Word

Write down the words of Psalm 19:14, and carry them with you or put them in a prominent place where you will see them regularly. Pray these words regularly this week.
