Pure Presentation

Pure Presentation

Dr Angelo R Moe

Psalms 19:14
14. Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord my strength, and my redeemer.

There is not one area in our lives where a presentation of some sort is not made. Growing up, we made presentations in school, on our jobs, to our children, in the church and ironically enough, to ourselves. There is a need to always present things, whether they are good or bad. What will people say about your life's presentation? In every aspect, we must always make sure we make a pure presentation.

In Psalm 19, David says something that questions the character of the believer. In other words, David is saying, "Lord, I want you to examine everything that I say and what I meditate on, that it might be approved by You." How many of us our guilty of letting the wrong things come out of our mouth, or meditating on sinful things? In essence, this means that we have desires that don't line up with God's word. I believe at some point in all our lives, we all have been guilty.

A pure presentation to God means that everything that I say and feel will be honest, wholesome and clean. It means that I display good character and integrity. This idea is hard for us because so many times we fail to honor God with our mouth and our heart, and we satisfy the flesh.

As believers, we should be glad for the latter part of this Psalm that reads, "Oh Lord, my strength and my redeemer." My Christian friend, God is your strength. He will give you the strength to overcome anything and everything in your life, if you allow Him to. He is also our redeemer. Praise the Lord! The Lord saved you and me from the hand of the enemy (devil). I am so glad for the redemptive power of the blood of Jesus Christ!

A pure presentation to Christ is possible. The challenge you and I face on a day to day basis is choosing to die to the desires of the flesh. As a believer, you can make a pure presentation.
