Thy tongue deviseth mischiefs; like a sharp razor, working deceitfully - Psalms 52:2
The tongue is the smallest member of our body, yet the deadliest. Speaking unkind words to others and about others has the potential to cut deep into the heart of those being talked about. The tongue has enormous power to build up or tear down. How will you choose to use it?
GOD expects his children to love and build up others regardless if they are followers of Christ or not. JESUS loved the people that talked about others in a negative way, just as much as he loved the people who did not participate in this kind of behavior. The difference is, the Word Of GOD says you will be held accountable to GOD for every word spoken good or bad.
May every word that you speak be one that encourages and build up others. Ask the Lord in prayer to please place a guard over your mouth so that you will not sin against him. There is life and death in the tongue.
Ask the Lord to fill your mouth and heart with his thoughts and with His words.
