Set a guard over my mouth, O LORD; keep watch over the door of my lips. – Psalm 141:3

I really liked the mental picture on this one.

The picture of the words we say (and think) going in and out of a door. And then a guard standing there.

Now, picture the guard…

Is he asleep?

Fat, drunk and stupid?

Or

Always vigilant?

Standing firm?

This verse is a great reminder that we must be careful with the words we use and the way we say them.

Words have power. They have so much power the writer of this Psalm was asking God to watch over the doorway.

Make it a point to choose great words today.

Make it a great day.
