A “Mangled” message, comes from a “mangled, muddled mind”…
It’s obvious to all Bible readers that God, time and time again, warns us about the Mouth … the words uttered, the claims we make, the vows and promises we commit to.
“Every idle word” will be judged, and we know all too well, how we can be ensnared by “the words of our mouth”
My Father cautioned me often to be careful of not only what I said, but how often I said it … and in what “company”
The Psalmist prayed about his words … “let the words of my mouth … be acceptable in Your sight” But that was not all … he rightly, saw the connection between the words of his mouth, and the thoughts of his heart.
“Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable to You, oh my GOD …”
Our Words give glimpses into our heart … “out of the abundance of the heart … the mouth speaks …”
If only I’d spoken after I had prayed … not prayed because of the dilemma my thoughtless words had gotten me into.
