“I will guard my ways, lest I sin with my tongue; I will
restrain my mouth with a muzzle …”
Psalm 39:1
We should always watch our tongues
and what we say. People are listening. We want them to be drawn closer to the
Lord after being with us. We don’t want them to be turned away from Him by what
comes out of our mouth. Thinking of things this way shows us that words are
powerful. The Word says that life and death are in the power of the tongue. Pause
and think before you say anything. Ask yourself if what you are about to say is
beneficial or not. Jesus spoke words of love and kindness. His words were full
of life. We should strive for our words to be of love and kindness too. We want
our words to be full of life. We want to bless those we love and those that are
around us. God has given the gift of the Holy Spirit to those that are His. The
Holy Spirit can really help us with our words. If we are about to say something
that the Lord doesn’t want us to say, the Spirit will often give us a check in
our spirit that we shouldn’t share it. Follow those checks. He knows best and
has put them there for a reason.
Father, guard our ways, lest we sin with our tongues.
Restrain our mouths with a muzzle. You have given us your Holy Spirit as a
gift. May the Holy Spirit give us a check in our spirit if we are about to say
something we shouldn’t. May we heed those checks as we know that You are so
much wiser than we are. We want our words to be words of love, kindness,
blessings, and life. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
