Psalm 141:3 Set a guard over my mouth, O Lord; keep watch over the door of my lips.
This is something I have been asking God to do for me. The transformation of my heart is something that is always before me and my lips are what keep me informed that I have not turned over my entire heart to God. I am quick to have an opinion about things that I have been given the opportunity and TIME to master. I'm not referring to God things here, I'm referring to my earthly skills. I struggle with holding others to a particular standard, and that really isn't my job. It is God's job. All I need to worry about is me. All I need to concern myself with is following Jesus and seeking His Kingdom and the rest of life will fall into place. Will people do everything the way I would do it or to the level at which I would like it done? Nope. I need to get over it. Oh wait, I need God to transform my heart so that I don't worry about those things anymore. I need God to transform my heart to be about the heart of the others and not about the actions of others. My mouth is how I know God is changing me inside, so it is about my lips, but it's more about my heart. ;-)
