Psalm 34:12-13 New International Version (NIV)
12 Whoever of you loves life
and desires to see many good days,
13 keep your tongue from evil
and your lips from telling lies.
and desires to see many good days,
13 keep your tongue from evil
and your lips from telling lies.
God reminds us that our words and the way we use our speech
greatly impact the quality of life we enjoy. Nothing cuts short a vibrant life
like evil speech and lies we tell. They set loose a force of deception and
damage that we cannot control. This unleashed power not only damages those
about whom and to whom we speak, but they eventually boomerang and come back
and bring their deadly payload back into our own lives. Let's be people who
speak what is right, good, wholesome, holy, true, and a blessing. (cf. Ephesians
4:20-5:12)
Thought for today:
do I think before I speak?
