[:en]THINK BEFORE YOU SPEAK

The best way to guard our mouth is to think before you speak.  Setting a guard over our mouth requires that we keep our mouth shut when we are irritated.  Either we seek the Lord’s help to say the right words with the right tone or better just not to speak at all.  No wonder the Psalmist David said:  “Set a guard over my mouth, Lord;  keep watch over the door of my lips” (Ps. 141:3)

Let us learn to control our mouth by saying helpful and kind words.  “Gracious words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones) (Prov. 16:24) – by (Roh Fang Chia)[:]
