Today's Verse - Psalm 141:3 (NIV):
Set a guard over my mouth, O Lord; keep watch over the door of my lips.
In the psalm, in which this verse appears, David prayed to keep his temper, which was hasty , impetuous, and required significant control that he often could not keep. He asked for grace to resist temptation to sin in thought, word, and deed.
Today's Comments: We need to keep praying that the Lord will direct our words, thoughts and actions in the right direction. Our words can hurt, and we must guard against allowing ourselves to hurt others with them. We need to pray for the mercy to accept what we do well, the grace to keep us from doing ill, and the wisdom to understand how to use our words, thoughts, and actions in accordance with God's will, not our own.
