my words

the following devotion came as a huge challenge to me..i always feel like is my obligation to voice my opinion on any given issue..sometimes its mindlless comments that end up hurting people or a modification of the truth, whatever..
Proverbs 10:19, The Amplified Bible"In a multitude of words transgression is not lacking, but he who restrains his lips is prudent."
We believers need to start watching our language! We need to quit
throwing words around like they weren't important and start using
them like our lives depended on it--because, according to the Word
of God, they do!
(Prov. 18:21).Too many of us have what Proverbs 19:1 calls a perverted mouth.
Having a perverted mouth means more than lying and using
profanity. It means having a disobedient mouth. It means saying
things that are out of line with the Word of God.
Just use the wisdom God has given you. Train your mouth to be
obedient to His Word. Then, when you need it most, you'll find
that Word dwelling richly in you.
The Psalmist says, " may the words of my mouth and the mediations of my heart, be pleasing to you, oh Lord"
blessings y'all!
