Bible Verse of The Day – 6-11-21

Psalm 19:14 (NKJV) 14 Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart Be acceptable in Your sight, O Lord, my strength and my Redeemer.

This Psalm hits home with me. It’s like my heart’s cry in my daily walk with God; let the things I say and the intentions and actions of my heart be pleasing to You, my God and Redeemer.

When we walk with God, as we grow and mature, we will begin to place more value on things that used to mean little or nothing to us. And we will begin to place less value on things that used to mean a great deal to us.

There are many things I used to value greatly that mean little to me now.

Why?

Because God has rearranged my priorities. He changed the desires of my heart.

He has a way of doing that as we allow Him to touch us in our innermost places.

The principle established in this Psalm, of wanting to please God with all that we say and think, is what happens when God really gets hold of us.

David had a heart that was “after God”; wanted to please God in every possible way.

And when our heart reaches that point, we will also long for the very same thing that David expressed here.

The funny part is that we don’t intentionally set out to feel this in our hearts. We set out to walk with God and learn of Him, getting to know Him more, day by day.

But as we do that, and we submit to the Holy Spirit, allowing Him to prick our hearts, molding and shaping us, the end result will be just that; a heart that longs to please Him in everything we do.

We challenge you today to do that; pursue God with your whole heart. Pursue Him relentlessly, pushing aside the things that would try to hinder you and prevent you from pressing in to Him.

You will never regret it.

And if you’d like to learn more about pursuing Him relentlessly, feel free to check out this blog post we wrote a while back: Pursuing God Relentlessly.
