Read Psalm 109:6-19
https://et.gy/3AHlsVzHe loved to curse; let curses come on him. He did not like blessing; may it be far from him.
Psalm 109:17If we choose to curse, cursing is the environment we finally inhabit, inescapably. If we oppress, oppression is the context in which we exist, unavoidably. Our words and our acts create conditions in which we ourselves must live. Unrepentant and unforgiven, we live with the curses and pitiless actions which we set loose in the world.
Prayer: God, teach me the pure speech of praise and the exalted speech of blessing. Help me to avoid blasphemous and complaining words as readily as I resist diseased and contaminated ob- jects. May my "speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt," so that I may bring glory to your name (Colossians 4:6). Amen.
