Psalm 19:14
14 Let the words ['emer] of my mouth, [peh] and the
meditation [higgayown] of my heart, [leb] be acceptable [ratsown] in
thy sight, [paniym] O LORD, [Yahovah] my strength, [tsuwr] and my
redeemer. [ga'al] KJV-Interlinear
14 Let
the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart Be acceptable in Thy
sight, O Lord, my rock and my Redeemer. NASB
The words of the mouth
are those which are spoken and heard by all that are within listening range.
The meditation of the
heart refers to the thoughts of ones soul.
And between the two, they
need to be consistent in ones approach and attitude toward life.
Too many people think one
thing and say another, or say one thing and think another. They are the hypocrites, the forked tongue
people of the world. Their lives are
full of lies and deceit. Their lives are
aimed at impressing or confusing people or themselves.
However, it is God who is
the ultimate judge of us all, and when he evaluates us, as He will one day,
then our thoughts and actions need to be consistent in that He is the one who
needs to be impressed, not other people.
Our life in this world is
for but a short time, perhaps a few decades.
Our life after this one, is eternal and will continue on forever. Forever is a very, very, very long time.
Nothing and no one in
this world will decide your eternal life.
God alone decides that. So the
one to impress is God and no one else.
Your eternal life will
make up more than ninety-nine-point-nine-nine-nine-nine-etc. percent (99.9999…
percent) of your life.
Your current life will
occupy less than point-zero-zero-zero-zero-etc-one percent (.0000…1 percent) of
your life, or virtually nothing of your whole life.
To spend most of your
time concentrating on the least part of your life is foolish or down right
stupid.
To spend most of your
time in preparation of the greater portion of your life is wisdom.
And God and your
spiritual life is that best time invested in your eternal life.
Inconsistency in thought
and deed, are a fools attempt to manipulate their current environment and life
into something that they think they want.
Learning doctrine and
therefore bringing your thoughts and intents and actions into sync with each
other and with your life and with God, accomplish far more than you can on your
own, and are in accordance with Gods plan for your life.
God is our strength and
our redeemer.
The Old Testament has
much to say about salvation and the spiritual life.
God is the strength or
the rock, the solid foundation of ones life.
That foundation is constructed by means of doctrine learned and metabolized
into ones soul.
God is our redeemer. This speaks to mans need of a redeemer
because of the weaknesses and flaws that man has incorporated in the life. Redemption, or salvation, comes from God
alone and from no other source.
The God spoken of here is
the second person of the trinity, the Lord, who is both God and man in the same
person, namely the Messiah as promised back in the days prior to the Cross, all
the way back to Adam and even back into eternity past when the divine plan was
established.
