Title: Hold Your Tongue And Save Yourself From Grief

Scriptures: Proverbs 21:23

God’s Message/Promise/Commands:

Amazing day with Jesus!  Today, God tells us in Proverbs 21:23 to watch our words and hold our tongue; you'll save yourself a lot of grief.  Such wise words for us today.  The hardest part of our body to control is our tongue and at times, we easily blurt out whatever we feel we want to without realizing the damage it will cost us.  So today, God tells us to save ourselves from grief by watching our words and holding our tongue.  Even when it feels right and we know that what we want to say has a point, we have to learn to control ourselves.  How many times have we spoken too soon and ended up regretting the things we said?  I know I'm guilty and so most of us are.  So today, let's take God's advice and watch our words and hold our tongue, in the end we are saving ourselves by doing so.

Prayer:

Lord Jesus, thank You for another wonderful day and amazing time with You.  Thank You for a great reminder to learn to control or watch my words and hold my tongue.  At times, everything in us says to speak but oftentimes, we end up regretting the words that come out of us after we've released it.  So Lord, help me to hold my tongue and watch my words at all times and guide me to the words that I need to say to bring life to others.  In Jesus' Name, Amen!

Memory Verse Share for today

Proverbs 21:23 (The Message Version)

Watch your words and hold your tongue; you'll save yourself a lot of grief.

Oftentimes, at the peak of our emotions, we just want to speak out and make a point especially when we know we are right, but then once we said our piece, we instantly regret them.  So today, God tells us to be wise.  Let us watch our words and hold our tongue because many times, in doing so, the main person who benefits from that is us and not the other person.  So save yourself and control your tongue today.

Happy Wednesday guys!
