Watch Your Mouth

The mouth is a powerful instrument, this can be attested to by many if not all. If the mouth is watched and our words protected it could yield so many blessings, grace, and goodness that would bring lots of fruition into the lives of those we love and those around us.

On the other hand, it can be damaging, it can be detrimental if allowed to go haywire and used haphazardly. Words are double-edged swords that can cut in all directions, the damage that it can inflict can serve a lifetime and can literally ruin lives. But at the same time can save lives, can uplift and bring goodness into the lives of many.

It is not everything that the eyes sees that the mouth must speak, there are things that ought to be said and there are those that ought not to be said. Learning to find the difference between the two, when to speak and when not to will make a world of difference and it is what separate the wise from the ordinary.

So seek out the spirit of discernment, seek out the spirit of wise speaking, learn from the elderly and follow the proverb that says the elderly has not heard unless officially informed or told or asked of or requested. When we do this we learn to watch our mouth and our speech and many of our ways.

May the Good Lord continue to guide our steps in everything we do even as we continue to be more mindful of our thoughts and our words.
