But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness. 2 Timothy 2:16 KJV Bible GatewayDuring my time of prayer I came across this one simple verse above pretty self explanatory. Basically shush unless what you are about to say brings value.To lead a life where you have control over this type of speaking it is necessary to stay in the word and not ‘the world’. Once you asked Jesus into your heart, you are a child of the most high sent here to bring him glory and be a witness. You can’t expect to have one foot in the world and the other in the kingdom.Peace and joy comes when following Christ. You exercise your senses to godliness and not to the gossip, worldly news, and foul speech. This Christmas season don’t try to jump on the treadmill of activity but be still. Spend time in the word. Decide you want to speak kind and encouraging words. Now go and rest in the Lord.PRAYER: Lord I come to you this day and thank you for the Holy Spirit which brings conviction. Help me use my words to bless and not curse. In Jesus’ name. Amen. #Biblegatewayblogger
This is great advice. It reminds me of something I heard as a kid. "If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all." Peace and blessings to you and yours.
