I said, "I will guard my ways, that I may not sin with my tongue; I will guard my mouth with a muzzle, so long as the wicked are in my presence." -Psalms 39:1

I was reading this chapter of Psalms this morning and got stuck at verse one. The part that caused me to pause is that last stanza. It seemed that the writer put special emphasis on being quiet while around those he surmised were wicked. 

As I pondered on it I thought of a phrase I had been told not many years ago that is certainly applicable here. 

“Every dog that brings a bone...” so it may have seemed that the psalmist (had to use the word, lol) recognized the extra need to guard his mouth in the presence of certain people. 

This is not to negate that you should always guard your heart to protect your tongue, but around certain people this is particularly prudent. The writer further said that when the wicked are present put a muzzle on😂. 

How many people would we like to muzzle, yet in this instance it is self muzzling that is stressed.

  Saying, Go ye into the village over against you; in the which at your entering ye shall find a colt tied, whereon yet never man sat: loose him, and bring him hither. -Luke 19:30 Good morning and tremendous Tuesday to you! During Passion Week, we witnessed the fulfillment of prophecies regarding Christ, as demonstrated by how effortlessly the disciples found the animal needed for the events. This highlights Jesus's preeminence, as he orchestrated everything in accordance with prophecy.  When Jesus directed the disciples to an unburdened beast of burden, it symbolized that the weight of his mission would be uniquely His to bear.  The choice of such an animal harks back to Jesus's humble birth in Bethlehem, and the peaceful nature of a young colt signifies his initial arrival in peace. However, it also foreshadows his eventual return as a mighty warrior and conqueror. #prayforthepeaceofIsrael God bless you and command your day!!! Your comments and questions are welcome. Co...

  So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. -Romans 10:17  Good morning and happy hump day to you!    Why is it important to listen? Simply because faith comes to and through your ears. In similitude fear travels the same path.  What you hear you think about and over time your thinking effects your belief system. This is why it is important to listen to the right people.  This said beloved, guard those gates, chase down what may sneak in and put it under subjection to Christ.  #prayforthepeaceofIsrael   God bless you and command your day!!!
