Psalm 19:14 Let the words of my mouth, and the mediation of my heart, be acceptable in Thy sight, O Lord, my strength, and my Redeemer.

David begins this psalm declaring glory to God for His revelations of the heavens day and night. They proclaim His wisdom, power, and goodness proven by the counter-changing of day and night so that all who witness it are left without excuse. The heavens and all they contain constantly glorify Him, from the sun’s rising and setting in the day to the moon and stars following their path in the night. His eternal power and divine nature are clearly seen and understood by all who witness these constant and absolute events.

David then praises God for His perfect, steadfast, and pure law, which opens our eyes to His wisdom and drives us to His throne of grace there to worship. The revelations warn him of the perfect and pure law of the Lord. (Psalm 19:11) They point out his mistakes, and he asks to be cleansed from hidden sin. He desires to be upright and acquitted of great wickedness.

I pray my heart would be much affected by the excellence of the word of God so that the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart would be filled with thoughts of His glorious reality and that they lead to words and actions that are pleasing to Him at all times.

Practice the presence of God in stillness of heart.  

Psalm 62:5 My soul, be quiet before God, for from Him comes my hope. 

He is the living God that reveals Himself in His creation. His presence strengthens and satisfies our faith which wakens and grows bold in His glorying hope. Set your heart open in holy separation from the world. In adoration, meditate on God’s creation and how He uses it to speak to us day and night.
