MAKE YOUR WORDS AND ACTIONS REFLECT GODS CHARACTER

 “Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Your sight, O Lord, my strength and my Redeemer.” – Psalm 19:14 


Your words are a window into your heart. As Jesus said, “Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks” (Matthew 12:34). You might try to hide your true feelings, but eventually, your words reveal what’s inside. If you want to follow Christ sincerely, aligning your heart and words with His character is essential.

What Does It Mean to Be Acceptable to God?
Being acceptable to God means reflecting His character in your words and actions. God delights in kindness, forgiveness, and patience. Ephesians 4:29 reminds us: “Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs.” 

God also values honesty. When you bring your struggles and pain to Him, you open the door for His grace to transform your heart. By aligning your heart with His purposes, you allow His wisdom and love to shape your words and actions.

Take a moment to reflect on the words you’ve spoken recently. Were they filled with kindness and love, or frustration and negativity? Your words reveal the state of your heart. If your words have been harsh or unkind, it’s an invitation to examine your heart’s alignment with God.

Steps to Align Your Heart and Words with God
● Meditate on Scripture: Fill your heart with God’s truth by spending time in His Word (Psalm 119:11).

● Pray for Guidance: Ask God to help you control your words and purify your heart.

● Pause Before Speaking: Reflect on whether your words will build others up or tear them down (James 1:19).

● Seek Forgiveness: If your words have hurt someone, apologize and make amends (Matthew 5:23-24).

● Practice Gratitude: Focus on God’s blessings to shift your heart toward positivity and kindness.

Aligning your words and heart with God takes intentionality, but it brings life and peace. When your heart is filled with His truth, your words naturally overflow with grace, building others up and glorifying Him.

Prayer: Lord Jesus, Help me to align my heart and words with Your will. Let everything I say and think reflect Your love, kindness, and wisdom. Teach me to pause before I speak and to value the impact my words have on others. Transform my heart so it overflows with grace and truth. Amen.

THE WISEST THING TO DO IN YOUR LIFE

  Daniel 12:3 (GNT) says, “The wise leaders will shine with all the brightness of the sky. And those who have taught many people to do what is right will shine like the stars forever.” This verse speaks about the reward God will give His faithful people on the last day. Those who live with wisdom and lead others to righteousness will shine like stars in the sky—forever. What a powerful promise! Today, I want to teach you how to be wise so you can receive this reward. The Bible says in James 1:5 (NKJV), “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God...”  This means wisdom comes from God, and He is willing to give it to anyone who asks. When you receive God’s wisdom, you will learn how to live the right way and make decisions that please Him. You will also have the power to guide others. The wisest thing you can ever do in life is to preach the Gospel—to help people turn away from sin and accept Jesus Christ. That is the kind of wisdom that brings eternal rewards. Also, if you ...

DO NOT COMPARE YOURSELF TO OTHERS

  "I know what it is to be poor or to have plenty, and I have lived under all kinds of conditions. I know what it means to be full or to be hungry, to have too much or too little. Philippians 4:12 CEV" God’s purpose for humankind is for everyone to succeed, but each person has their own season. Just as each flower blooms in its own time, each of us has a time set by God. When that season comes, God will make you prosper. Until then, keep praying and working hard, trusting in His timing. When you look at your peers, former classmates, family members, or others in your age group and see their success, it’s easy to start comparing. Maybe a friend just built a new house or got a high-paying job, or perhaps someone you know is getting married. If you feel like you’ve achieved more, you may feel good about yourself. But if you feel like you’re still “behind,” it’s easy to feel discouraged and inadequate. This is where your perspective can become distorted. Some people think they ar...
