The Power of Aligning Your Heart and Mouth with God's Will

Have you ever said something you immediately regretted? Or did you find your mind wandering to places you'd instead it didn't go to? We've all been there. That's why Psalm 19:14 from the New King James Version (NKJV) of the Bible is so relevant to our daily lives. It says, "Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Your sight, O Lord, my strength and my Redeemer."

This verse is like a spiritual checkup for our words and thoughts. It reminds us that what we say aloud and silently think matters to God. But why does God care about these things? And how can we live out this verse in our everyday lives?

Let's start with our words. The things we say can significantly impact the people around us. A kind word can brighten someone's day, while a harsh one can hurt deeply. The Bible often talks about the power of our speech. Proverbs 18:21 says, "Death and life are in the power of the tongue." That's pretty serious! It shows us how important it is to use our words wisely.

But this verse doesn't stop at our words. It also mentions "the meditation of my heart." This is talking about our thoughts and what we focus on. Our thoughts are important because they shape who we are. They influence our attitudes, our actions, and even our words. That's why paying attention to what we're thinking about is crucial.

So, how can we make our words and thoughts "acceptable" to God? Here are some practical steps:

Start your day with prayer. Ask God to guide your words and thoughts throughout the day.

Practice the pause. Before speaking, especially when you're upset, take a moment to think about your words.

Fill your mind with good things. Read the Bible, listen to uplifting podcasts, or spend time in nature appreciating God's creation.

Choose gratitude. When you complain, try to find something to be thankful for instead.

Seek accountability. Share your goal with a friend and ask them to encourage you and gently point out areas for improvement.

Remember, this is a process. We won't get it perfect every time, and that's okay. The important thing is that we're trying and improving. God knows we're not perfect, so the verse ends by calling Him "my strength and my Redeemer." We can rely on His strength when we're struggling and His forgiveness when we mess up.

Try to be more aware of your words and thoughts as you go through your day. Don't beat yourself up when you catch yourself thinking or saying something that might not be pleasing to God. Instead, use it as an opportunity to pray and refocus.

Here's a challenge for you: For the next week, start each day by praying Psalm 19:14. Ask God to help you align your words and thoughts with His will. At the end of each day, take a few minutes to reflect. How did it go? Where did you see improvement? Where do you still need help?

Remember, this isn't about being perfect. It's about growing closer to God and becoming more like Him. As you focus on pleasing God with your words and thoughts, you might be surprised at how it changes your relationships, outlook on life, and faith.

So, are you ready to take on this challenge? With God's help, you can transform your words and thoughts to align with His will. This change can truly impact every area of your life.

When you give, you pave the way for God to meet your needs.                           

Let each give as he has determined in his heart, without difficulty or force, for God loves a cheerful giver (2 Corinthians 9:7).

02/06 Bible verses

For the LORD knows the way of the righteous, But the way of the wicked will perish. (Psalm1: 6)

02/06Good words 

1. In the vast world, there are thousands of temptations, and human desires are always endless. Excessive pursuit of interests often makes people lose their way.

2. Optimism does not mean turning a blind eye to problems, but believing that wherever there are problems, there will be solutions.​​

The heart of the wise receives knowledge; the ears of the wise seek knowledge (Proverbs 18:15).

02/06金玉良言

1. 大千世界，萬種誘惑，人的慾望總是沒有止境。過度地追逐利益，往往會使人迷失方向。

PRAYING THE PSALMS

I am like a tree firmly planted by streams of water which yields its fruit in due season;  my leaf does not wither and I prosper in whatever I do;  because my delight is in You Lord Jesus. (Psalm1:2,3)

How blessed am I since I take refuge in Jesus. (Psalm 2:12)

My Lord, You are a shield about me -- my glory -- and the one who lifts my head. (Psalm 4:3)

The Lord sustains me -- He delivers me from the fear of people. (Psalm 4:5)

In peace I will both lay down and sleep -- I meditate on Jesus in my heart upon my bed. (Psalm 4:4,8)

In Jesus I take refuge and sing for joy and He surrounds me with favor. (Psalm 5:11,12)

O Lord, my Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth, who has  displayed your splendor above the heavens. (Psalm 8:1)

The Lord abides forever -- He is a stronghold for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble. (Psalm 9:7,9)

I ascribe to the Lord glory and strength, I ascribe to the Lord the glory due His name. I worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness. (Psalm 29:1,2)

I will sing to the Lord, because He has dealt bountifully with me. (Psalm 13:6)

      Why pray the Psalm scriptures out loud? 

It is hard to think about something other than what you are talking about.  Praying out loud the scriptures solves the problem of the wandering mind.  -- spoken words speak to the soul and have the power of raising thoughts in the soul. The Psalm scriptures speak of God in the Highest manner which most fully expresses the power and presence of God.

Strong's definition for "meditate" - HAGAH (Greek) - means to imagine.  First pray the scripture out loud -- then pray the scripture back to God.  This prayer can be the prayer of thanksgiving, supplication, or praying the greatness of God and the benefits of God.

Purge This Story 16166: A Horror Short by Sam-Amina Matthew-John Bailey

Purge This Story 16166h Rabi Al Thani 1445 / October '23

The following may be a prophecy of Sam-Amina Matthew-John Bailey. Little remains of information concerning her life (which we believe played out in this place sometime around 1444h) save that she was held to be a seer amongst her people & dedicated this (her transfixative work)”—to Ember. Whom I live to see as a mighty king among my people!”. 

This text is delivered as an appendage of songs of Sam-Amina with this warning:

“BEWARE: creative license in play & truthfully we ourselves face evil inclinations. Still. Never doubt when you have lived to see stranger days.” 

Purge This Story 16166h. Psalm1

Annabelle lived 13 years on Earth before becoming impregnated with a whole new world. 

Purge This Story 16166h. Poem 3

“Woe, whoah! Oh woe… That I had died before (I had met this moment.)” 

Four months on as she dips her honey tanned mitts into high tide waters she’ll remember to say

“Praise God I lived to see this momentous day”. 

Annabelle is naked save for clay of the Earth she smears on her body and the remnants of her thick silken cloak which shimmers green in the sun. She is captivated by her baby’s reflection in the pond water. 

Purge This Story 16166. A dirge. 

“Jesus joy of Mans desiring” she plays.

Annabelle’s a gifted cellist who doesn’t see herself as first chair, much less a violinist. Annabelle lacks the charisma she perceives of the violists while reveling in their recklessness.

Besides, Annabelle greatly prefers her private repertoire. The unplayable (sans scorn from others if they could hear). Oh well. Anything is preferable to Annabelle over the piercing pitch that punctuates her skull when the yielding heard of E stringers tune their machines. 

Simmering in the clef with the bassists Annabelle is no choir singer. An ever on Earth orphaned woman. So long as Annabelle remembers her birth parents are no more. The tales she hears shift. Sometimes a boating accident becomes being eaten by a fish. Life goes on. 

She grows up in The Church. On her worst days she screams 

“I swear to God these people! (Are consuming me, as if I myself were the fattest among the cattle calfs being buttered up for a burnt offering or the wafers served beside wine.) 

This was a life lived in vanity. Horsehairs dragged across suspended metals. The soft/steel meeting is lubricated by imported jade rosin. 

Purge This Story 16166. An Admonition (& forgiveness!) 

Young Annabelle is foolish & fears January as if it possesses the might of God Himself. She is correct, however, in her calculation that the death making angels of Allah themselves are roosting upon her threshold. 

All her virgin life on Earth Annabelle never uttered, or even comprehended, her peoples dominant tongue. Most language utterly escaped her. Her every thought of talking vanished.  Sincere attempts to meet the most pleading, violent, or romantic of advances that this woman ‘aught speak given sanity or reason dissolved upon her most strident attempts at application. Precisely like a dream wherein one finds themselves holding on to the memory of screaming in a universe that physically commands its silence. A cruel muscle memory? 

With quiet comes forgetting. Sometimes Annabelle likes this. 

It is no man that inseminates her. No baby which Annabelle begets.   

Purge This Story 16166 Never Speak of This

He Dog arrived about as soon as Annabelle is granted memory. The Smoking Man she perceives in the closet calls out to her with names worse than the like of herself. Words others pick up. 

This causes her to seek otherworldly refuge. She wonders at first if it is not Satan living in the vent just above the top bunk of the twin bed at the first place where she lived on 16th Court - With the last nearest thing to a family she experienced before being brought to this place.

         “No” she succumbs to telling herself. 

“This is He Dog”.

He Dog is minute but menacing. Rich curls of brown fur with red yellow marbled eyes. Two feet and half one inch upright. 

He Dog speaks an ancient dialect Annabelle alone comprehends well and appears to understand the whispers of her heart. 

Annabelle is immediately trained never to mention He Dog by the reactions of those around her when she shares her experiences. 

“It is okay.” She lies to herself. “He Dog understands me”. In this Annabelle is not entirely wrong. 

Purge This Story 16166 So much for my (/boundaries). 

Ballad, The town of Annabelle’s birth, Is built on a peninsula. The boundary between her people and God knows what exists in the beyond is bordered up by a thicket of trees, reeds, marshy waters and marked by a blood stained rock left by the ancestors of the towns inhabitants. Songs & epics passed through the ages of her people all warning against even nearing the shrub gates into the damp woods of the lost.

Annabelle misinterprets He Dogs ability to quietly listen to her as signs she’s found a beneficent friend. All he’s done yet is listen quietly and murmur to her in a dialect so foreign it’s one of the few things she recognizes. 

She takes him on a walk, one of the many rituals he enforces coercively at the face of maintaining his friendship with Annabelle. This may as well be protection to Annabelle. Under duress Annabelle begins to believe she must do this. 

Purge This Story 16166 Busted

Annabelle doesn’t recognize the urgency of her hunger until pale moonlight is hours past being all that’s left of the sun. Moon beams gently punctuate the pitch black canopy of trees above her. It isn’t her sight Annabelle is following, rather He Dog, who appears to have caught scent of something himself. 

Leaves are all that’s slick under her bare calloused feet. If rough skin sheathes the musician from the hot friction of metal cords on their fingertips what are twigs to Annabelles feet? Cuts to her skin when a Psalm is composed of more than just notes inked on paper? 

“He Dog No! Please!”

The blood soaked stone is rendered dimly visible by daybreak. He Dog is arrested by the border stone. Narcissus mugging himself in the pond water couldn’t be more hellishly captivated as He Dog & that boundary rock. There’s something so transfixing about the forbidden, the vain, the deadly. Annabelle must now learn why that is for herself. 

Fatigue escapes to amazement as soon as Annabelle sees, truly realizes what she is perceiving from before her mahogany eyes, the engraved markings which drink up an inheritance of spilt blood. Even dried up viscous remnants of life don’t cover this up: They make the shape of the sounds she hears. Annabelle is beginning to comprehend literacy. 

Docile no more. He Dog reveals all the ravenous might he’s been biding. “YOU MUST DO THIS ANNABELLE” he gruff’s while biting at her hands. “You are going to do this Annabelle. Listen to me. LISTEN TO ME” he bites at her feet. He Dog is growling.

Purge This Story 1666: Re: Genesis. 

It was fast all too much for Annabelle whose tears of grief overcome her ’til her head rest a’slumber on the stone. 

Annabelle dreams of a deliverance. She sees faces gathering around her. Beautiful perfumed ones with gold sashes & Biblically bright pupils. They are different from the people around town, though many townsfolk are there as well. This company is welcoming of her and feeding her grapes, juicy pomegranate seeds, honey buttered slabs of bread. 

They take her home. To the one she remembers. 

Daybreak anew. And her physical condition is worse for 24 hours of ware. He Dog is grumbling.

“Bell… You know you’re going to do as I command you”. 

She understands perfectly what is written on the rock. She’s spent hours cautiously mesmerized by its recitation. It’s lost meaning to her whether or not He Dog comprehends what lays ahead of her if… 

“Annabelle! Annabelle.”

A new voice. Beautifully carried by the damp morning air. She hears a princess, 

“Annabelle I am here with you”

She hears a Queen. 

Annabelle lifts her loosely braided crown of yellow hairs from the rock, now damp with her spit, snot, and tears along with the ever stubborn blood. She is realizing this voice progenies from her shadow. What is left of her after the sun cuts her body with its ancient starlight.

It takes seven minutes for light to travel at its namesake speed from the surface of the sun to the face of the Earth. It takes thousands of years for the same light to travel from the core of the Sun to its launching surface. Layers of fusion and convection in viscous plasma temper starlight for such a moment. 

It takes Annabelle like no time at all to at least try to seize that God cursed stone once she comprehends her shadows news:

“Do not be scared any longer. I am here. I am telling you to do this.”

The rock is heavy, sunken and grown over into the crust of the Earth. Annabelle appears weak, vulnerable. But she screams. A guttural primal force gathering howl and she picks up that rock.

Annabelle bares it. She thrusts it behind her from across her breasts. Annabelles lungs expand with mossy oxygen. She hurls herself into the unfathomable. Annabelles eyes are beaming in the face of what is ruinous.

Purge This Story 16166 Four Months Later 

Annabelle is amazed at how well her stitches are healing. How soft He is.
