Let the Words of My Mouth

Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable', neither of which comes easily to me. Yet I have little patience for ignorance and self-promoting, glib generalisations.

The more I learn the more I realise how little I know, something that I am often reminded in conversation. Is it my age that brings me to reflection? Is it God teaching me to honour my words and pay attention to those around me? Probably both, and the wisdom of His words keeps me quiet long enough to recognise it is 'the log in my own eye' and not the 'speck' in the eye of those around me that He is interested in, and that perhaps I should apply this wisdom to my own life? Humbled, yet still somewhat annoyed!
