Guard Your Mouth

Scripture

“He who guards his mouth keeps his life, but he who opens wide his lips comes to ruin.”
(Proverbs 13:3, AMP)

Word

We’ve all said things we wish we could take back. Scripture says that when we guard our mouth, we keep our life. That’s because our words determine the direction of our lives, and wrong words can get us off course very quickly.

The Bible tells us that life and death are in the power of the tongue. There’s no neutral ground. We are either sowing seeds of life and productivity with our words, or we are sowing seeds of ruin and destruction with our words.

Today is a good day to take inventory of your words and make the decision to sow only good seeds. Sow seeds of life by speaking God’s Word over yourself and those around you. Make the decision today that your words will bring glory to the Lord as you guard your mouth and keep your life!

Prayer

“Father, I give You my every thought, word and action. Help me, Holy Spirit, to live a life pleasing to You in every way. Help me to guard my mouth and keep my life moving forward in a godly direction in Jesus’ name. Amen.”

(Joel & Victoria Osteen)
