One of the beautiful prayers that was composed by David, the Psalmist, towards the advantage of mankind, is highlighted in today’s reflection, “Set a watch, O LORD, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips” (Ps 141:3). The wisest Solomon confirms this, and adds an additional health benefit, “Pleasant words [are as] an honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones” (Prov 16:24). It is astonishing that David has comprehended the importance of words on the mouth; hence, he composed a hymn with these lyrics: “Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer” (Ps 19:14). Let’s praise God, for He has given days to worship Him and use good words. 

Abba, thank You for motivating us, and strengthening us, by Your Divine Words. Let Your Spirit lift our spirits, and keep in perfect health, in Jesus’ Most Healing Words, Amen.
