With my lips I declare all the rules of Your mouth.
O Lord, that I would take this to heart today, fully accepting the truth and importance of this short little verse. It is so easy to say that it is the way I live that provides a testimony to you, that is both true and necessary, but it is insufficient. I cannot stop there, Lord, I must declare that it is Your goodness that is exhibited in me, I must shout that it is all the wisdom and goodness that comes from Your mouth, I must cry out that You are Lord of my life and to You alone, I am obedient.
To do otherwise is to plagiarize and to take credit for Your grace and mercy. Help me, Lord, keep me from adding more layers of this sin to my life.
Today's readings in the Psalms:
Morning: Psalm 127
Mid-day: 119:129-136
