Wise sayings today concerning our speaking.
Prov 16;23
A wise man's heart guides his mouth, and his lips promote instruction.
Prov 18:7
A fool's mouth is his undoing, and his lips are a snare to his soul.

Matt 12:36
But I tell you that men will have to give account on the day of judgment for every careless word they have spoken.

We must be careful, not only in what we do but also in what we say. When we squeeze out toothpaste from the tube, it is almost impossible to put it back, so are our careless words. We may be able to apologize for those careless words, but we can’t put them back in our mouth.

Prov 10:21
The lips of the righteous nourish many, but fools die for lack of judgment.
Are the lips of Believers nourishing many?

Prov 15:28
The heart of the righteous weighs his answers, but the mouth of the wicked gushes evil.
We should think before we speak.

Prov 17:28
Even a fool is thought wise if he keeps silent, and discerning if he holds his tongue.
“Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.” Mark Twain.

Ponder this verse for the day.

Prov 16:24
Pleasant words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones.

As we take to heart the words from Proverbs today, let's make an effort to think before we speak, to instruct and nourish many.
