Psalm 19:14 “May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Your sight, O’ Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer.”
What pours out of the mouth is the fruit of what the heart is set on. And how can we tell what the meditation of our heart is? Well, what am I focused on, where are my priorities, who is my attention set on, what do I consider valuable? What do I put my time into? Well all of these things make up the meditation of my heart, but is what I’m doing, what I’m focusing on, what I’m considering valuable, my priorities, are they acceptable to God? And I will give it away, I will let know that which is valuable to me, for the things that I value most are the things I will talk about most. If all I speak is mindless babble, what then is the meditation of my heart? If all I talk about is the opposite sex, what then is my heart set on? If all I pour my time into is video games or entertainment of any kind, what is the meditation of my heart? These things in and of themselves are not necessarily evil, yet when they are placed in a level higher than God they become idols and to think such a thing is disgusting, but how many times has it happened? How many times has the Sweet Father asked us to spend time in His holy presence to talk with Him yet we rejected Him because it is not the most “convenient” time for us…The better question is, what air would we be breathing if it weren’t for Him? Where would we be going if it wasn’t for His sacrifice? Thank Him for His lovingkindness and tender mercy.. and it’s not even that He would be mad..It grieves Him when His children ignore Him, when we ignore His calling, His beckoning us to draw near to Him and to learn, it hurts Him when He asks us to spend time with Him and we push Him to the side and continue our daily routine, a daily routine of uselessness if He is not involved..
He created us so He could have a family and if there is going to be a strong family, love and communication will tie it together, just like a relationship. Don’t silence that gentle nudging on the inside asking you to spend some time with God, He has every answer we will ever need for every situation, He has all we need, He is all we need, and He wants to talk with His children, He wants His children to spend time with Him and He wants to spend time with us, He is Love. The more time we spend with Him, the more we fall in love with Him, and now He has become the meditation of the heart – this is the greatest, most fulfilling place to be.
