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.
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?
