#382 Opening the Door of our Language to God Psalm 141.3
I made an irritated comment about Dad leaving a used pan on the stove. He left because he was hurt. I found him and apologized and we talked for a while and then I went back home. Finally after a long time he came back. I served him dinner, then gave him a head rub, in prayer and in tears.
I could lose him if he ever decided that my irritation meant that he was a burden to me.
My irritations and how they come out in my words and gestures must be dealt with.
Cleanse me Lord, heal my heart.
Set a watch over my mouth: SET A WATCH OVER MY HEART.
Psalm 141:3 Set or place a watch [a hedge, a guard, generally to protect] O LORD, before my mouth; guard and protect the door of my language.
Our words, and the language we choose to describe what we experience determines our experience.
Language is a door, an access to opportunity, for good or for ill.
What is the power contained in one word?
One single word holds enough creative power to shift the course of your entire life.
Words are power tools….The right words can be the means through which we see our way through depression and the wrong words can trigger years of despair.
The words we decide to use to frame an experience – to decide if something is a success or failure, an ending or a beginning determines our tomorrows. Carolyn Myss
When we pray for the LORD, the covenant keeping God to protect and guard our language we surrender to the power of His Words to be our words.
He is teaching me to place a guard, to watch when the first irritating thought enters my mind, and to rethink the scenario and pure privilege to be of help to my Father in Law who is also my Brother in Christ.
A friend’s love is constant. Proverbs 17:17
A distorted heart finds no good. Proverbs 17:20
A happy heart makes well, like a cure: but an afflicted or wounded attitude dries up the strength and vitality. Proverbs 17:22
He that has knowledge restrains his mouth; a person of intelligence has a cool and quiet attitude. Proverbs 17:27
“I am training you to think my thoughts.”
