Proverbs 21:23
Those who guard their mouths and their tongues keep themselves from calamity.
Think before you speak. How many times have you heard this and how many more times have you not followed through with it? I know I am seriously guilty of this offense. I have paid the price of regrets later.
So, why do we find it so hard? Let me tell you, we are in good company, biblically speaking. Look at Peter. If ever there was a disciple with foot in mouth disease it is him He is the poster child! So don’t feel so bad. Don’t let Satan run you over with this one. Grace has got you covered.
The important thing is to keep trying. Stop, listen and then ask God for the right words to speak. He will come through for you every single time. Beware though, sometimes the words you are suppose to say, may be a little hard to say. You may even want to choke on them. But I promise they will always be the exact words to say, at the exact time to say them.
If you will excuse me, I need to go practice what I preach. I am pretty sure I have some foot removal to perform.
Lord, help me to stop, listen, and talk to you before I open my mouth and insert my foot! ~amen
