KEEP A WATCH ON YOUR TONGUE!

            You cannot stop people's tongues, and therefore the best thing to do is to stop your own ears and never mind what is spoken. -Spurgeon

I said, I will take heed to my ways, that I sin not with my tongue: Psalm 39:1

            David isn’t like many people of our day, he actually cares about what the Lord hears him say. Folks today will tell a lie in a heartbeat, whine and complain if they don’t get their way, and blaspheme our Saviour’s holy name at the blink of an eye. People’s mouths are like a cancer not dealt with! The longer you don’t do something about it, the worse off it becomes!

Child of God, the Lord wants you to be holy and this includes your tongue! Guard it! Protect it! Cleanse it! You do that by putting the right things in your mind!

YES HE CAN HEAR YOU!

God keeps up a continual conversation with every creature. –Claudel

The eyes of the LORD are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry. Psalm 34:15

In World War 2 came a need to have secret communications. They didn’t have to look far to the somewhat unknown Navajo language. These Code Talkers took to the airways providing help to our service men’s movements and anticipated attacks. Where we could hear and understand them, the enemy could not and they provided vital help during one of our nation’s needed times.

In our time of need God will help because He hears our cries! He hears the cries of the lost for salvation. He hears the cries of the saved for peace, direction, help, hope, and so much more! There are two things that keep Him from hearing us; sin and silence. If you have unconfessed sin God will only hear the prayer of confession, Psalm 66:18. And obviously, if you don’t ask He will never answer your prayer, Psalm 54:2.

Lift up your voices this morning Christians! Lift them up high and let Him hear the desires of your heart! D.L. Moody said, “Sometimes a few minutes in prayer have done more for a man than two hours in talk.”
