WASHINGTON POST (PHILIP BUMP)
‘Genius,’ ‘Savvy’: Trump reacts to Putin’s moves on Ukraine exactly as you’d expect

We have been discussing the type of person God has and will entrust His Word and His messages to. These are those who do not turn a blind ear to the truths of God, those who find application to HIs Word in their lives, those who repent when truth shines light on sins. We have also discussed those who God will not trust with His words. Those who harbor idols, those who have the form of religion without the power.
This week we take a look at a strange passage of Scripture, Psalm 119: 43, “And do not take the word of truth utterly out of my mouth, for I wait for Your Ordinances.”
It is as though you have had the words of God on the tip of your tongue, but now they escape you. You know the best words that are right for the person in front of you, or even for your own soul, but now you can’t find them. We can find this happening in our praise, in our prayer, in our evangelism, and more.
So how do we turn this request from the Psalmist into our own prayer, and what do we do if we have found the Lord has removed His word from our mouths? Dr. John Snyder and Teddy discuss these realities in this week’s episode.
