Speak His Words

     My husband and I were discussing a Bible study and I said, "I see this now and know how important it is, but ask me tomorrow and I'll have forgotten I read it!" His reply is as grace-filled as most of his replies to me, "Everybody has different gifts. You may not be able to remember things, I can't remember things at times, but someone else can remember things." 
     We all have things to work on, we all have things that come easily. I believe God would have us focus on what He says in His Word and commit that to memory. Then, when I speak my words, hopefully, they will be seasoned with the knowledge of Christ and not simply my own thoughts and ramblings. 
     Today's (March 17, 2013) Our Daily Bread magazine article was written just for me! See the excerpt below (http://odb.org): 
The question “Who owns my lips?” is a good one to ask ourselves when we’re tempted to use insincere praise to get what we want. If my lips are my own, I can say what I please. But if the Lord owns my lips, then my speech will mirror His words, which the psalmist described as “pure words, like silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times” (v.6).
               Psalm 19:14 May these words of my mouth and this meditation of my heart,   
               be pleasing in your sight, 
               Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer.

                                                   Happy St. Patrick's Day!!!
