CONTROL YOUR MOUTH, ENJOY YOUR LIFE
For the Scriptures say, “If
you want to enjoy life and see many happy days, keep your tongue from speaking
evil and your lips from telling lies.” 1
Peter 3:10 NLT
The Bible says that we need to control our tongues if we
want to enjoy life, and I believe we all want to enjoy life. I find that
reading and meditating on what God’s Word says about the power of words is
helpful to me. Here are some of my favorites:
“Those who control
their tongue will have a long life; opening your mouth can ruin everything.” Proverbs
13.3
“Let the words of my
mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Your sight, O Lord, my
Rock and Redeemer.” Psalm 19:14
“If anyone considers
himself religious and yet does not keep a tight rein on his tongue, he deceives
himself and his religion is worthless.” James 1:26
Look up those additional Scriptures and meditate on them as
you seek to live a powerful life: Proverbs 8:8; 12:18; 15:4; 18:21. God’s Word
has power in it that will strengthen and enable you to speak words of life that
will benefit you.
