Guard Your Words</b><p><a href="/psalms/141-3.htm">Psalm 141:3</a> says, "Set a guard, O LORD, over my mouth; keep watch at the door of my lips." This verse reminds us of the power of our words and the importance of speaking with wisdom and love. In a world where words can easily hurt or heal, asking God to guide our speech ensures that we reflect His grace and truth in every conversation.<p><b>2. Seek Righteousness</b><p>In verse 4, the psalmist prays, "Do not let my heart incline to any evil thing, to practice wicked deeds with men who do iniquity." This is a call to pursue righteousness and avoid the temptations that lead us astray. By aligning our hearts with God's will, we can live lives that honor Him and inspire others to do the same.<p><b>3. Embrace Correction</b><p><a href="/psalms/141-5.htm">Psalm 141:5</a> offers a profound insight: "Let a righteous man strike me—it is an act of loving devotion; let him rebuke me—it is oil for my head." Embracing correction from those who walk in righteousness is a gift. It helps us grow and stay on the path of truth. Accepting constructive criticism with humility can lead to personal and spiritual growth.<p><b>4. Pray with Persistence</b><p>The psalmist's earnest plea in verse 1, "O LORD, I call upon You; hasten to me. Give ear to my voice when I call to You," highlights the importance of persistent prayer. Just as the psalmist sought God's attention with urgency, we too should approach Him with a heart full of faith, trusting that He hears and answers our prayers.<p><b>5. Offer Your Worship</b><p>Verse 2 beautifully states, "May my prayer be set before You like incense, my uplifted hands like the evening offering." Worship is not just a Sunday activity; it's a daily offering of our hearts to God. By making our lives a living sacrifice, we honor Him and draw closer to His presence.<p><b>6. Avoid the Company of the Wicked</b><p>The psalmist wisely asks in verse 4 to be kept from "practicing wicked deeds with men who do iniquity." The company we keep influences our actions and thoughts. Surrounding ourselves with those who seek God encourages us to live in a way that reflects His love and truth.<p><b>7. Trust in God's Protection</b><p>In verse 8, the psalmist declares, "But my eyes are upon You, O GOD the Lord; in You I seek refuge." Trusting in God's protection provides peace amidst life's storms. By keeping our focus on Him, we find safety and strength, knowing that He is our ultimate refuge.<p><b>8. Be Mindful of Traps</b><p>Verse 9 warns, "Keep me from the snares they have laid for me, and from the lures of evildoers." Life is full of traps that can lead us away from God's path. By staying vigilant and seeking His guidance, we can avoid these pitfalls and remain steadfast in our faith.<p><b>9. Rely on God's Justice</b><p>The psalmist expresses confidence in God's justice in verse 10, "Let the wicked fall into their own nets, while I pass by in safety." Trusting in God's justice allows us to let go of vengeance and bitterness, knowing that He will right all wrongs in His perfect timing.<p><b>10. Cultivate a Heart of Humility</b><p>Throughout <a href="/bsb/psalms/141.htm">Psalm 141</a>, the psalmist's humble approach to God is evident. By acknowledging our need for His guidance and correction, we cultivate a heart of humility. This openness to God's leading allows us to grow in wisdom and grace, becoming more like Christ in our daily walk.</div><div id="botbox"><div class="padbot"><div align="center"><br><br><a href="index.html">Bible Hub Top 10 Lists</a><br><span class="p"><br /><br /></span></div></div></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="left"><a href="lessons_from_psalm_140.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="Lessons from Psalm 140"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="Lessons from Psalm 140" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="lessons_from_psalm_142.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="Lessons from Psalm 142"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="Lessons from Psalm 142" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><div align="center"> <script id="3d27ed63fc4348d5b062c4527ae09445"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=51ce25d5-1a8c-424a-8695-4bd48c750f35&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script> <script id="b817b7107f1d4a7997da1b3c33457e03"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=cb0edd8b-b416-47eb-8c6d-3cc96561f7e8&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-2'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-0' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-3'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-1' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div align="center" id='div-gpt-ad-1531425649696-0'> </div><br /><br /> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:inline-block;width:200px;height:200px" data-ad-client="ca-pub-3753401421161123" data-ad-slot="3592799687"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script> <br /><br /> </div><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhchapnoad.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
