Psalm 139:4: For there is not a word on my tongue, but behold, O Lord, You know it altogether.
Experiencing Jesus in the Psalms
Divine knowledge is perfect, since not a single word is unknown, not even an unspoken word, and each one is altogether or wholly known. 1
Living the Transformed Life
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 reveal your heart. A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good things, and an evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth evil things. Matthew 12:35
- Your words can bless or they can curse. But no man can tame the tongue. It is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison. With it we bless our God and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in the similitude of God. James 3:8–9
- You will be held accountable for the way your words purposefully slandered and tainted the reputation of a fellow servant of the Lord. And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account. Hebrews 4:13
Before you speak, your unspoken words, are entirely known by Him, with complete transparency, and full accountability.
Praise and Prayer
Thank You, Father, for keeping me from saying regrettable words. Dear Jesus, please forgive my sinful speech. Change my heart with Your purifying love.
