Pipe Down Would You!

“For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned.” Matthew 12:37

Anyone out there have trouble controlling their mouth and the timing of what you say? I know for me it is an ongoing struggle probably from being too impulsive. What you say and how you say it is so critical. It is necessary you get a grip on this area of your life if it is something you struggle with.

JAMES chapter 3 in the New Testament is all about the dangers of the tongue. A misspoken word can destroy relationships. Nowadays this may not necessarily mean face to face contact with a person but the all powerful tweets, texts, and Facebook posting. It is crucial you gain control of words you speak. 

So my friends give yourself thinking time if you are in doubt over what you will say, text,tweet. Make sure your speech is full of grace and love. Your speech sort of defines you too so ask the Lord to help you remain pure, holy, kind, and in control. 

PRAYER: Thank you for the ability to speak and the miracle of the tongue and vocal cords. Help me Lord use my mouth for good and not evil and to always be careful to think before I speak. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
