Read Scripture: Psalm 19
Key Verse: Verse 14 “Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer.”
Familiar words! The United Methodist Youth Benediction! As a youth growing up in the Methodist Church (Now the United Methodist Church) every Sunday night we would close the meeting with a prayer circle and the whole group saying the MYF Benediction. It gave closure to the meeting. It gave us a sense of community till we met again.
In Psalm 19 we have these words given to us to remind us to be blameless and be innocent of great transgressions. We are urged to let our mouths and our hearts be acceptable to God. In these days of Lent, let us also let our mouths and hearts be acceptable to God.
Prayer: O Lord, help us to live our lives that we can be acceptable to you. Amen
Thought for the Day: Controlling our mouths and opening our hearts is what God wants.
