PSALM 5

"Listen to my words Lord; consider my sighing. Pay attention to the sounds of my cry, my King and my God, for I pray to You. At daybreak, Lord, You hear my voice; at daybreak I plead my cause to You watch expectantly. For You are not a God who delights in wickedness; evil cannot lodge with You. The boastful cannot stand in Your presence; You hate all evildoers. You destroy those who tell lies; the Lord abhors a man of bloodshed an treachery. But I enter Your house by the abundance of Your faithful love; I bow down toward Your holy temple in reverential awe of You. Lord, lead me in Your righteousness, because of my adversaries; make Your way straight before me. For there is nothing reliable in what they say; destruction is within them; their throat is an open grave; the flatter with their tongues. Punish them, God; let them fall by their own schemes. Drive them out because of their many crimes, for they rebel against You. But let all who take refuge in Your rejoice; let them shout for joy forever, May You shelter them, and may those who love Your name boast about You. For You, Lord, bless the righteous one; You surround them with favor like a shield


This reminds me of my words. I'm naturally a very sarcastic person, and I joke around a lot with my friends. I think that especially with them I forget how much power words have, and sometimes even if they aren't serious words can really hurt. Also, my words as a representation of Christ. As children of God, we never know who is watching us or listening to us and the things we say come across as a huge witness.  I know that I need to mainly remember the power of words and use that power to share His love to other people. To be a good mirror of Christ and use them to lead others to Him.
