JOHN SHIRK – Today’s Light Reflection is from Psalm 19:14.

“May these words of my mouth and this meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer.”

This is a prayer for our spoken words and focused thoughts to be pleasing in God’s sight. David, who wrote this Psalm, understood that words and thoughts matter in our faith.

We can build up someone with our words or tear them down.

We can worship God or cling to idols.

We can plan to do what is right in God’s eyes, or plot a sinful course.

Those solitary moments with God are crucial for living out faith with godly integrity. He will show us the right way and give us the courage to follow after His own heart.

This Light Reflection inspires us to please the Lord with our words and thoughts in the Year to Shine.
