"The words of the reckless pierce like swords, but the tongue of the wise brings healing."Proverbs 12:18
Do you suffer from ‘tongue trouble’ as I know I certainly am not proud of it but I do. This tongue trouble may not actually be when you are talking but could be texting or email as well as it seems most ‘talking’ nowadays goes to texting. I am not sure our younger generation growing up like this will be able to hold normal conversations.
Tongue trouble could mean interrupting, boasting, gossiping, trying to be center of attention, lying, and just a lack of patience in communicating with others. It is essential you get a grip on this area of life in order to be at peace with those around you.
A friend of mine suggests the 24 hour rule for when you are not sure about communicating. Wait 24 hours and then see how you feel.
PRAYER: I need you Lord to help me get control of what comes out of my mouth. I want it to be full of grace and truth. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
