Proverbs 18:6-7
‘A fool’s mouth is his undoing, and his lips are a snare to his very life’.
Have you stopped to give thought to what exactly you have been saying lately? A good test would be to record your words over the course of your normal day, and sit back to analyse them.
Proverbs 6:2 says that we are trapped/snared by the words of our mouth.
Do you spend your words admitting defeat, speaking vanity and profanity, lying or declaring perverse things? You declare perverse things when you speak words that are contrary to God’s words in/over your life.
Word are very similar to time. Both are very precious, and once spent cannot be regained. They’re gone for good. It’s always a good idea to watch our words. . both the quantity and quality. May we pray like David, set a watch o Lord, at the door of my mouth. That our words bring not destruction upon us or ensnare us.
Amen
Amen.
