Let God Guide Your Words

Scripture Proverbs 16:1 The preparations of the heart belong to man, But the answer of the tongue is from the LORD.

Observation: It is up to me to prepare my heart to receive my Lord. God gives us the gift of choice and we must decide to follow God with all of our heart, mind and soul. Once we allow God to take His rightful place in our heart we will be guided to do and say what is right. He fills us with the Holy Spirit and our thought will be purer so when we speak, we speak out of love and encouragement. That is the opposite of who I was before Jesus came into my life.

Application: To know what God desires, I must be in prayer and in his word. I need to seek what God desires and become that new creation that God calls me to be. I need to set aside my selfish thoughts and desires and focus on what God desires. Only then can I speak the words to others that will be uplifting.

Prayer: My Lord please rule your servant. Place on my heart the things that you desire of me. Use me to be your vessel to help touch the lives of others. I love you Lord hold me close.
