Oh Baby Cakes

 

Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how you ought to answer each person. Colossians 4:6

It is easy when startled or upset to blurt our an exclamative word such as some I would not write in a Christian devotion but they start with the letters S, F, H, or G. Enough said. Even believers can be guilty of using bad language but should we? 

If you have trouble in this area why not practice next time you get in a situation where you would automatically say the other less redeeming words say “Oh baby cakes” and move on. Practice the habit of making yourself talk in a more uplifting manner such as if Jesus were with you cause he is. 

This is not acting self righteous because everyone slips up but another good thing to do is don’t make it a practice to fill your mind with novels, TV, movies, that use foul language. You can control that mostly by reviews and movie ratings. Don’t compromise your walk with the Lord. 

PRAYER: Father I want desperately to glorify you in all I say and do. Keep me from entertaining wrong thoughts as I seek to be an example and good witness. In  Jesus’ name. Amen.
