[[-SOAP HUB]] | [[Psalm 39]] | [[-Psalm Overview]] ## Title: Watch Your Words ## Scripture: (Psalm 39:1) For the music director, Jeduthun; a psalm of David. I decided, “I will watch what I say and make sure I do not sin with my tongue. I will put a muzzle over my mouth while in the presence of an evil person.” (NET) ## Observation: The Psalmist is talking about the need to watch what we say and do. This is easy to say but not easy to do. The songwriter says the more he tried, the harder it became. In the end, he needed God to help him deal with the issues that were making it so difficult. This includes his personal inability to follow through because of his humanity. This is still true of us today. When I was a teenager, I decided I was going to not say anything at all if it was not uplifting. It lasted about 3 days and was so hard that I still remember it all these years later. Watching what we do is also difficult. However, the great news is the Lord does not intend for us to do this by ourselves. He will walk with us and move in our lives. He is with us and will help us all along the way. ## Application: Ask God to help you bring life through your words and comfort through your actions today. ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for walking with us through our daily sanctification.
