Our Mouth/Psalm 141:3 Set a watch, O LORD, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips. Note: A person opens his or her mouth on average 700 times a day to speak. King David asked God to help him keep his mouth shut. The Bible says that Jesus remained silent. The high priest said to him, “I charge you under oath by the living God: Tell us if you are the Messiah, the Son of God.” Matthew 26:63(NIV)
The Next Generation/Psalm 112:1-3 Praise ye the LORD. Blessed is the man that feareth the LORD, that delighteth greatly in his commandments.2 His seed (our kids) shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed. 3 Wealth and riches shall be in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever. Note: Another word for mighty is impressive, powerful, or strong.
He, whose heart is fixed, trusting in Christ, need not be afraid. Jonathan Edwards
Surrender to God/Yield to God/Accept God/James 4:7-8 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. Note: When we submit our will to God, then we can, by His grace, effectively resist the devil. God’s nearness will bring His presence, grace, blessings, and love.
