“Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
 Be acceptable in Your sight,
 O LORD, my strength and my redeemer.”  Psalm 19:14

What a wonderful verse this is; there are so many avenues for personal study that can be found in this one verse.  I will only touch on a few areas that, hopefully, may peak our interest.  In all that is going on in the world today this can be a time set aside to immerse oneself with the Holy Spirit in The Word.

*Let us start with some of the things Scripture says of wise words and they are to be meditated on continually in our hearts--
They are pleasant:
“Pleasant words are like a honeycomb,
 Sweetness to the soul and health to the bones.”  Proverbs 16:24

They are appropriate:
“A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold
 In settings of silver.”  Proverbs  25:11

They are gracious:
“The words of a wise man’s mouth are gracious,
 But the lips of a fool shall swallow him up.”  Ecclesiastes 10:12

They are inspiring and unforgettable:
“The words of the wise are like goads, and the words of scholars are like nails, given by one Shepherd.”  Ecclesiastes 12:11

They are comforting:
“The Lord God has given Me
 The tongue of the learned,
 That I should know how to speak
 A word in season to him who is weary.
 He awakens Me morning by morning,
 He awakens My ear 
 To hear as the learned.”  Isaiah 50:4

*Of meditation:
Psalm 4:4 tells us’
“…Meditate within your heart on your bed and be still.  Selah

Scripture says in Psalm 49:3,
“My mouth shall speak wisdom,
 And the meditation of my heart shall bring understanding”

“May my meditation be sweet to Him;
 I will be glad in the LORD.”  Psalm 104:34

*Not only does the Bible speak here of wise words, but with meditation there should come wise thoughts--
“I thought about my ways,
 And turn my feet to Your testimonies.
 I made haste, and did not delay 
 To keep Your commandments.”  Psalm 119: 59-60

“The thoughts of the righteous are right,
 But the counsels of the wicked are deceitful.” Proverbs 12:5

“Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy--meditate on these things.”  Philippians 4:8

*God is our strength and our redeemer!
“The LORD is my strength and my shield;
 My heart trusted in Him, and I am helped;
 Therefore my heart greatly rejoices, 
 And with my song I will praise Him.”  Psalm 28:7

“God is our refuge and strength,
 A very present help in trouble.”  Psalm 46:1

“Blessed is the man whose strength is in You…”  Psalm 84:5

*God is the author of our redemption.
“But now, thus says the LORD, who created you, O Jacob,
 And He who formed you , O Israel:
‘Fear not, for I have redeemed you;
 I have called you by your name;
 You are Mine.’”  Isaiah 43:1

Redemption is only through Christ Jesus!
“And because of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, righteousness and sanctification and redemption,
So that, as it is written, ‘Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.’”
1 Corinthians 1:30-31

All Praise, honor and glory to the gracious God of all things!  Amen
