Open My Mouth, Praise Overflow

Someone once wrote that or mouths are open sepulchers (tombs), that at times, is proven true by the way we live our lives.  James 3:10 states that, "Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be"

I know they are those who were born and bred in the church and haven’t allowed foul things to flow and roll out of their lives but then when you look at the way God created things. Our mouths are instruments of worship just as much as our lives are lived for worship.

King David one certified sinner who
had a huge heart for God’s ways and truth, once cried out to the Lord in Psalms 51 which was written after he had realized his sin with Bathsheba and he just breaks down before God and he asks "O Lord, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall shew forth thy praise" Psalm 51:15 KJV 

May the cry of hearts be nothing else but that our mouth may be vessel and instruments of worship, David asked that God open his lips to allow worship to flow, that worship may be declared and that worship be uttered at the opening of his mouth.

The same mouth we worship God and with the same mouth we curse mankind. Our mouths may they be places of blessings and worship. "And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the Lord" Psalm 40:3 KJV  

What are you asking from the Lord, Is your mouth on the blessing side or the cursing side?

Kind David asked of the Lord that his mouth be filled with new songs, new songs and new songs. His prayer was that His mouth constantly declares praise and worship to Him so that many who will see and hear him speak might be blessed by his life and worship. 

May we ask of the Lord that our mouth to be opened with overflowing new songs but also that our lives actually overflow with worship and praise that man is lifted and comes to the fear of the Lord because of our lives.

May we take a moment to pray together,

Father in Heaven we thank you for who you are and what you mean to us, today we ask for forgiveness for the words that we have spoken. We pray that you cleanse us from sin and just like Isaiah may a coal from your altar and may it touch our mouths that new songs may flow forth and that our lives bring glory and honour to you always and all the time. We pray for worship to flow from our lives always in Jesus Name, Amen.
