WHO OWN MY LIPS? PSALM 19:14;Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Your sight,O LORD. In Psalm 12,David lamented his society in which godly,faithful people had disappeared and been replaced by those who speak deceitfullywith flattering lips and a double heart(Psalm 12:2).They had said, With our tongue we will prevail; our lips are our own; who is lord over us? (Psalm 12:4); The questionWho owns my lips?is a good one to ask ourselves when were tempted to use insincere praise to get what we want.If my lips are my own,I can say what I please.But if the Lord owns my lips,then my speech will mirror His words,which the psalmist decribed aspure words,like silver tried in a furnace of earth,purified seven times(Psalm 12:6). Perhaps a good way to show who owns our lips would be to begin each day with Davids prayer from another psalm:Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Your sight,O LORD,my strength and my Redeemer (Ps. 19:14).
