To enjoy life and see many happy days, we need to keep our tongue from speaking evil. Whoever guards his mouth and tongue Keeps his soul from troubles - Proverbs 21:23. We need to be very careful when speaking as death and life are in the power of the tongue. Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit - Proverbs 18:21. Pleasant words are like a honeycomb, Sweetness to the soul and health to the bones - Proverbs 16:24. A fool’s mouth is his destruction, and his lips are the snare of his soul - Proverbs 18:7.
Sin is not lacking when the words are many and so let us speak only words that are helpful. In the multitude of words sin is not lacking, but he who restrains his lips is wise - Proverbs 10:19. 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. There is one who speaks like the piercings of a sword, But the tongue of the wise promotes health - Proverbs 12:18. But I say to you that every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgement - Mathew 12:36.
Let us speak the praise of the Lord with our mouth and keep our tongue from evil and telling lies. My mouth shall speak the praise of the Lord - Psalm 145:21. Let my mouth be filled with Your praise And with Your glory all the day - Psalm 71:8. Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice - Ephesians 4:31. Find opportunities to speak kind and tenderhearted words - Ephesians 4:32. Set a guard, O Lord, over my mouth; Keep watch over the door of my lips - Psalm 141:3.
Whoever of you loves life and desires to see many good days, keep your tongue from evil and your lips from telling lies. Turn from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it - Psalm 34: 12-14.
PRAYER: Dear Lord, Help us to refrain our tongue from speaking evil. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.
