*Psalm 45: Words of Beauty*
Psalm 45:1 Beautiful words stir my heart. I will recite a lovely poem about the king, for my tongue is like the pen of a skillful poet.
Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks. The strength of your words is a reflection of the strength of your heart. The beauty in your words reflects the state of beauty in your heart. Just like a preacher rightly said: your word is the easiest way of revealing your personality. Your word is you. Some people speak words that cannot edify the hearer. The kingdom of God is a kingdom of words. Through words, we proclaim the gospel of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Through words we embrace the fellowship of prayer. Through words we engage in spiritual warfare. And through words we proclaim our victorious testimonies. In God's kingdom, words are very powerful.
The book of Psalm is a reflection and collection of Psalms and songs that were beautifully composed by kings, prophets, musicians and instrumentalists. Whenever you reflect on each verse, you will see a careful expression of God's beauty and glory. Without doubts, the writers of these Psalms, are people with beautiful hearts and minds. It takes a beautiful heart to write a beautiful poem about God. These Psalmists focuses their minds on the good things that they have seen and received from the Lord. Even when they listened to what God did to their ancestors in the past, they also proclaimed God's praise through a beautiful Psalm.
The Psalmist declares: "Beautiful words stir my heart. I will recite a lovely poem about the king, for my tongue is like the pen of a skillful poet." While most people hearts are being stirred with bitterness, worries and sadness, it is a good thing for one's heart to be stirred with beautiful words. It is very easy to know someone whose heart is stirred with beautiful words. The contents of their statements is full of words with edification. There are people, whenever they communicate with you, it will be like you have spoken with God or directly with an angel. There are some, whenever you hear them speak, it will be full of anxiety, doubt, pain and fear, as if you have encountered the devil himself.
Today, think and reflect: what stirs your heart before you speak? Does your words reflects God's beauty and glory? Those who hear you speak, do they become edified? Be careful of your words. Your personality cannot be separated from the content of your utterances. When you are known for ugly and dirty words, people will avoid you like a plague. When you are known for words of beauty, people will always flock around you. Begin today by describing God with your best words. Then speak beautifully to yourself. Look out to those around you today, and speak beautiful words into their lives. May your words take expression in their lives today and always. Amen.
*Prayer:* Precious Father, beautiful God, glorious King. Words are never enough to describe your awesomeness. Our of the abundance of my heart, I ascribe my eulogies to you my Lord and King. You are beautiful beyond description. You are too marvelous for words. You are wonderful beyond human comprehension. Majesty, we exalt You our king. Let my heart resonate a beautiful poem of your praise. Thank You Father, Amen.
