Opening
Your
Mouth
Can
Ruin Everything.
Scripture
Proverbs
13
Observation
Yep!
Opening your mouth can ruin everything! I know if you are married, or
if you are in a relationship you can identify with this verse.
If
we had just kept our mouth shut … but we didn't.
We
can plan a special night out with our spouse, everything can be going
perfectly, and then we ruin it all by saying something, something
stupid, something hurtful, and it messes up the whole night.
Yes,
opening my mouth and saying the wrong thing can ruin everything!
Proverbs
12:18
Careless
words stab like a sword, but wise words bring healing. (NCV)
Proverbs
16:24
Kind words are
like honey— sweet to the soul and healthy for the body.
Proverbs
17:27
A
truly wise person uses few words; a person with understanding is
even-tempered.
Proverbs
21:23
Watch
your tongue and keep your mouth shut,
and you will stay out of trouble.
Application
I
will do my best to keep my mouth shut. Watch what I say and how I say
it. And I will ask the Lord to help me to guard my tongue.
How
about you?
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, help me keep my mouth shut so I can stay out of trouble. “May
the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing to
you, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer.” (Psalm 19:14)
