Watch
Your Tongue
And
Keep Your Mouth Shut,
And
You Will Stay Out Of Trouble.
Scripture
Proverbs
21
Observation
Stupid
is as stupid does! Let's be careful how we talk to the one who we
love the most!
I
don't know if you have noticed, but there are a lot of verses in the
Bible that warn us that we need to watch our tongue and we need to
keep our mouth shut.
As
we start out this new week maybe putting Proverbs 21:23 into practice
will help us stay out of trouble!
Proverbs
13:3
Those
who control their tongue will
have a long life; opening your mouth can ruin everything.
Proverbs
15:4
Gentle
words are a tree of life; a deceitful tongue crushes
the spirit.
Proverbs
18:21
The tongue can
bring death or life; those who love to talk will reap the
consequences.
James
3:6
And
among all the parts of the body, the tongue is
a flame of fire. It is a whole world of wickedness, corrupting your
entire body. It can set your whole life on fire, for it is set on
fire by hell itself.
Application
I
will be careful with what I say to Kathy and how I say it.
How
about you?
Proverbs
16:24
Kind words are
like honey-sweet to the soul and healthy for the body.
Psalm
19:14
May
the words of
my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing to you, O Lord,
my rock and my redeemer.
Proverbs
12:18
Careless
words stab like a sword, but wise words bring healing.
Proverbs
15:1
A
gentle answer deflects anger, but harsh words make
tempers flare.
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, Your Word is full of instruction about how I am to watch what
I say and how I say it. Help me to please You with how I talk to my
wife. Help me to control what I say and how I say it when I talk with
other people too. I know that I can be harsh. Help me to be gentle
and kind. “May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
be pleasing to You, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer.”
