Guarding Our Lips

Set a guard, O Lord, over my mouth;
    keep watch over the door of my lips!

Psalm 141:3 ESV

Our lips have been covered up by masks for about 18 months now. I’m looking forward to getting my lipstick back on when I don’t have to wear a mask any more!

Though our lips will no longer be covered, we still need God to guard them for us. Why?

Removing the Log in Your Eye

“And why worry about a speck in your friend’s eye when you have a log in your own?
How can you think of saying to your friend, ‘Let me help you get rid of that speck in your eye,’ when you can’t see past the log in your own eye?
Hypocrite! First get rid of the log in your own eye; then you will see well enough to deal with the speck in your friend’s eye.”

Matthew 7:3-5 NLT

I had a log in my eye this week. No, not literally a huge piece of wood. But something that needed to be removed, ASAP…

The Times, They Are A-Changin’

We’re now more than six months past 2020, the year that changed all of us. Last week I was musing with a friend that the cultural shifts that occurred last year are unlikely to change anytime soon. We’re entering a new era, and it’s time to adjust.

I admit, last year during quarantine I dipped into nostalgia to resist the changes. I watched movies and TV shows from the 1990s, marveling at how simple and uncomplicated culture seemed by comparison. I longed for the days before social media and cell phones and even the Internet. The days when life moved at a slower pace – not so long ago!

But ever since the world began, the times have been a-changin’…

Saying Yes to Forgiveness

I said yes to forgiveness in my marriage by pairing it with a daily task. If I had only started this habit in year one – no, week one – instead of year 19, it would have made a big difference.

Don’t Get Tired of Doing Good

So let’s not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don’t give up.

Galatians 6:9 NLT

Last year, I chose Galatians 6:9 as my meditation verse of the year. As I meditated on this verse daily, God used it to reveal several ways in which I grow weary of doing good. Maybe you also struggle with growing weary in areas like these…
