Greatest of mornings to you Champions! May the words we speak today pass through a filter that is pleasing to God before they part our lips.
The tongue is the topic for today. Controlling it is the assignment.
Speaking of my own experiences...I've learned over time, that not everything that comes to my mind, needs to escape through my mouth. Maybe you can relate? Words can build up or tear down. They can stir up strife or provide peace. Here's the thing, sometimes it just might be best to say nothing at all. A wise person once told me, we were given two ears and one mouth for a reason. Maybe we should listen twice as much as we talk? Today is a great day to keep that tongue in check. Taking it back old school...if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all. There's a lesson in the aforementioned statement. Certainly, there are times when we have to have tough conversations. However, even in those times, we should practice discipline with the words we use. We can prevent a whole lot of unnecessary damage just by bridling our tongue. Practice the pause today and use God as your filter.
Whoever guards his mouth preserves his life; he who opens wide his lips comes to ruin.
Proverbs 13:3
