That Accidental Text-Oops

Those who guard their mouths and their tongues keep themselves from calamity.Proverbs 21:23

Have you been the person who sent a text to the wrong person and maybe to the person you were talking about? It is embarrassing and teaches a life lesson as well. 

Aren’t you as a believer supposed to guard your tongue and not do such things as lie, gossip, spread untruths and so forth? This ‘telling’ nowadays most commonly could come from the keyboard of your cellular device. You may be in such a hurry to send something you didn’t fully check who it went too. Ouch when it backfires and you start shoveling yourself out of a hole. 

My sweet friend Kim back in Alabama always says to use the ‘24 hour rule’ when in doubt of any communication. Best to left things unsaid, not share everything or to give your opinion. Say what is necessary that is all. 

PRAYER: Father please help me not say everything that I feel like saying and to think first before quickly acting. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
