Default Taming the Tongue

Love Worth Finding

Taming the Tongue

“In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin: but he that refraineth his lips is wise.” Proverbs 10:19

Your tongue can get you into a lot of trouble. There is nothing that can do more damage to your relationships than your words.

Proverbs 17:27 says, “He that hath knowledge spareth his words.” That is, if you’re smart, you won’t talk so much. When you do talk, keep your words warm and sweet because you may have to eat them later.

There’s an old saying I heard a Rabbi use once that reminds us:

“The ears are open and out. They’re unguarded, but the tongue is behind ivory bars.”

* When you’re talking, you’re not learning.
* When you’re not learning, you’re not communicating.
* When you’re not communicating, there will be no intimacy in your relationships.

In what ways has your mouth gotten you into trouble this week? Confess those times before the Lord and ask for strength and wisdom to be a better communicator.

Set a guard over my mouth, O LORD; keep watch over the door of my lips. Psalm 141:3
