“Let my tongue cling to the roof of my mouth, if I do not remember you, if do not I exalt Jerusalem above my highest joy.”
Psalms 137:6 LEB
This is a striking line. What do we need to say “let my tongue cling to the roof of my mouth” if we forget it? What are we called to place high in our priority? What should go high enough that we would be punished with failure to speak if we cannot remember it?
Obviously our Savior, but that is not what this is about. This is about one of the gifts He gave them, and then they failed to appreciate. Jerusalem was what they were choosing to remember in this psalm.
I am sure we have things like that in our lives. Things we have been called to protect, honor, respect…and have not given them the time they require or deserve.
Stop and contemplate that today with me.
What are we needing to give some attention to, so that our tongue does not “cling to the roof of our mouth”?
