Keep Your Tongue From Evil

Keep your tongue from evil, And your lips from speaking deceit - ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭34‬:‭13.

                     We need to keep our tongue from evil as we have to give account of every word we speak. But I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment - Matthew 12:36. Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen - Ephesians 4:29.    

               Let our words be filled with grace and build others up. Gracious words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones - Proverbs 16:24. Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one - Colossians 4:6. The soothing tongue is a tree of life, but a perverse tongue crushes the spirit - Proverbs 15:4.

                  Let the words of our mouth be acceptable in the sight of God. Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Your sight, O Lord, my strength and my Redeemer - Psalm 19:14. My mouth shall speak the praise of the Lord - Psalm 145:21. Speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord, giving thanks always for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ - Ephesians 5:19,20.                                                              

PRAYER: Dear Lord, Help us to keep our tongue from evil. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.
