The Meditation of My Heart

Psalm 19:14 Let the words of my mouth and the mediation of my heart be acceptable in Thy sight, O Lord, my strength, and my Redeemer.

David, the Psalmist, begins this psalm declaring glory to God for His revelations of the heavens day and night. They proclaim His wisdom, power, and goodness, proven by the counter-changing of day and night so that all who witness it are left without excuse. The heavens and all they contain constantly glorify Him, from the sun's rising and setting in the day to the moon and the stars following their path in the night. All who witness these never-changing events see and understand his eternal power and divine nature.

David then praises God for His perfect, steadfast, and pure law, which opens our eyes to His wisdom and drives us to His throne of grace, where we can worship.
The revelations warn him of the perfect and pure law of the Lord. (Psalm 19:11) They point out his mistakes, and he asks to be cleansed from hidden sin. He desires to be upright and acquitted of great wickedness.

I pray my heart would be much affected by the excellence of the word of God so that the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart would be filled with thoughts of His glorious reality and that they lead to words and actions that are pleasing to Him at all times.

Practise the presence of God with stillness of heart.

Psalm 62:5 My soul, be quiet before God, for from Him comes my hope. He is the living God that speaks, gives, works, and reveals Himself in His creation. His presence strengthens and satisfies our faith, which wakens and grows bold in His glorying hope.

He only can be my Rock and my salvation; I am nothing without Him; I will look to Him with a fixed heart. (Psalm 57:7) Meditation and prayer are blessed means of strengthening faith and hope.
