Misspoken? September 26, 2018




Proverbs 10:32 New International Version (NIV)
32 The lips of the righteous know what finds favor,
    but the mouth of the wicked only what is perverse.

How many times have you said just the "wrong" thing? For me, it is more often than I would like to recall. Jesus words on this topic are indeed convicting to me: "Out of the abundance of the heart does the mouth speak." In other words, poor words and bad timing in our speech are more issues of our heart than issues of social skills and decorum. Let's ask God to purify, mend, and re-focus our heart on his will and passions.

Though for today: Do I check my heart before I get involved in conversations?
