With My Lips

“With my lips I recount all the laws that come from your mouth.” (Psalm 119:13)

Have you ever noticed that when Christians get together they talk about everything from their jobs to sports and to their families but they seldom talk about the Lord and the Word of God. God delights when His people talk about Him and His Word.

The Psalmist knew what it meant to talk about the Word of God. He took great delight in meditating on it, singing it, speaking of it and praying it back to God. We need to take a lesson from the Psalmist and make God’s Word part of our conversation.

First, we should share the truths that we have learned from God’s Word with another person. Second, we should sing the Word of God. There are many delightful choruses that use the words of Scripture. Finally, we should use the Word of God in our prayers. Claim the promises of God in prayer for God delights to fulfill His promises.

However, to do this we must know God’s Word. We will have to spend time reading it, memorizing it and meditating upon it and then we will find the Word of God is upon our lips.
