Do you ever consider what to say before you say it or do words just pour out of your mouth with no forethought?
Do others take offense at your words, or do you sometimes feel misunderstood because of the words you use?
The Psalmist, David, wanted to please the Lord with the words that came out of his mouth and the thoughts upon which he meditated in his heart. According to Strong’s Concordance, the word acceptable is the Hebrew word, ratsown, which means “to give pleasure, delight or favor.” David was asking the Lord to find delight, favor, and pleasure in his thoughts and words.
Have you ever thought about asking the Lord to find favor in your words and thoughts?
Proverbs 16:23 (ESV) tells us, “The heart of the wise makes his speech judicious (wise and sensible) and adds persuasiveness to his lips.”

A woman with a heart of wisdom is wise and sensible when she speaks, and her words help to instruct others in a positive way.
Do you want to be that kind of woman? I certainly do! Let’s ask the Lord to help us put His words in our hearts so that our speech will be full of joy, wisdom, and kindness.
Not only will we be encouraging others with the joy of the Lord, but we will be giving pleasure and delight to the Lord, our rock, and our redeemer!
