He discusses how God created women and what God intends them to be. Women are not supposed to be smaller versions of men. If you need to hear that today, drop a praise and send this to a woman who needs the reminder. God didn’t create women to be weak—He created them to be strong, intuitive, nurturing, and brave enough to stand against what’s wrong.

It’s really the whole Christian life in one sentence. We can make faith feel complicated, but God brings us back to this: Do justly; Love mercy; Walk humbly with God. It’s more than a beautiful verse—it’s a heart check. And living it out isn’t about trying harder alone. It begins with a relationship with Jesus and a heart transformed by the Spirit. What would it look like to make these three things part of your daily walk? Save this as a prayer prompt, and share it with someone who could use this reminder.

If we want our speech to change, we can’t ignore what we’re meditating on. If after hearing the message, you have decided to add Psalm 19:14 to your daily prayer time, please let Jeff Smith know. Thank you. God bless you and have a great week!
