Psalm 71:8. KJV.
Let my mouth be filled with thy praise and with thy honour all the day.
Our mouths ought not be filled with all sorts; idle chatter, gossip, bad and discouraging news, profanities or slander. Instead it would be best of all to fill it with praise and love. God gave us our voices to not only communicate, but to choose our words wisely. Don’t use it to injure or assassinate your fellow human being by your choice of words, rather use it wisely to spread his gospel and praise His Holy Name. Use your mouth to built bridges not to burnt bridges.
So keep your thoughts continually fixed on all that is authentic and real, honorable and admirable, beautiful and respectful, pure and holy, merciful and kind. And fasten your thoughts on every glorious work of God, praising him always.
Be a person of praise; The scripture says “A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones” A cheerful heart is a smiling face, you can not be joyful or cheerful in spirit and you look dull or miserable not at all. The state of your heart reflects on your outward appearance no matter how much pretence you put up.
God will yet fill your mouth with laughter. And he will fill your lips with shouts of joy. Your enemies will be covered in shame. And the tents of the wicked will be gone.”. (Job 8:21). Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise–the fruit of lips that openly profess his name. (Hebrew 13:15).
It is good to sing songs of praises to your God that’s all that appeases Him, Is your praises that moves Him to action for He inhabits the praise of his people. Your spirit also rejoices whenever you find your self singing a sweet melody it awakens your lowly spirit into being lively. David cried out in Psalm 43:5 “Why are you cast down, O my inner self? And why should you moan over me and be disquieted within me? Hope in God and wait expectantly for Him, for I shall yet praise Him, Who is the help of my [sad] countenance, and my God. In the time of despair you need praises to strengthen yourself back to merrier heart.
Don’t allow your spirit to get to the bottom point because that will be dangerous to health. The bible says “….But a crushed spirit dries up the bones” Don’t allow your spirit to be crushed, that’s what the enemies my desire to see happen to you because he knows what the implications will turned out to be “DRIES UP YOUR BONES. Be Wise!!.
PRAYER
My father my God may my heart always rejoice in honouring You with adorations, praises and thanksgiving unto you in Jesus name, Amen
REFLECTION
Praising God With Our Mouths, Praising God With Our Words, and Praising God With Our Voices Will not only please God, It will also heal Our Broken spirit. May the praises of God Almighty be on our lips and in our hearts now and always, Amen.
