Consider Your Words
“In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin: but he that refraineth his lips is wise.” (Proverbs 10:19)
Today’s Morsel: When I was in the army, I had a friend who would always say, “If you talk too much you will make grown folks hate you.” Solomon states that if you don’t talk too much, it can help you avoid sinning. Usually, folks who talk without considering what they say or are saying, do not consider that it can come back and cause them trouble. I’ve been listening to some of the political debates for folks being selected for political positions, and many of those being considered whose words were spoken years ago, are now coming back to haunt them. You must choose your words carefully. As Solomon says: “Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise: and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding.” (Proverbs 17:28). Let me encourage you. Let your words be few, and those that are chosen by you should most often be used for the edifying of others and not glorifying yourself.
Sing: Say the name of Jesus, say the name, so precious; no other name I know, that can calm your fears, dry your tears, and wipe away your pain When you don’t know what else to pray, and you can’t find the words to say, just say the name.
