sounds very familiar, “May these words of<br />
my mouth and this meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, Lord, my<br />
Rock and my Redeemer.” Maybe these words have become too familiar to<br />
me. Have I forgotten how profound this prayer is?<br />
Recently we have been reminded by our Pastor that one of the primary roles of the<br />
congregation is worship. The work of the church and each member begins with<br />
devotion to our God.<br />
Psalm 19 reminds me:<br />
To look to the heavens:<br />
… when was the last time I took note of the beauty of the sky at sunrise<br />
or sunset?<br />
… did I remember my Creator as I sped down the highway past trees<br />
and grass and flowers?<br />
To revere God and His expectations:<br />
… have I considered the commandments recently?<br />
… have I lived up to His directive to love and to forgive my neighbor,<br />
my family member, the stranger?<br />
To live in his grace, that living in Him brings me close to him rather than in<br />
a state of blame or transgression.<br />
So Father, today, may the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing to<br />
you. Amen.<br />
