Proverbs 13:3 NKJV
"He who guards his mouth preserves his life,
But he who opens wide his lips shall have destruction."
The Message words this scripture like this:
"Careful words make for a careful life; careless talk may ruin everything"
Ouch! How many times have I needed these words. I would do well to guard my conversations wisely, more than I do. I really can destroy what the Holy Spirit is building by my words.
Father, rather than defeat, despair, & death, help me speak life & faith & hope in every word I utter.
"Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
Be acceptable in Your sight,
O Lord, my strength and my Redeemer."
~Ps19:14~
