Proverbs 29:11, 20 NLT: Fools vent their anger but the wise quietly hold it back. There is more hope for a fool than for someone who speaks without thinking.
How many times have we had "diarrhea of the mouth" and just blurted out everything we thought of without being sensitive to others around and how your words would affect them? Or in the heat of the moment and anger, just given someone the verbal beating they deserved? I've been guilty.
Lord, help me to keep a watch on my tongue. There is life and death in the tongue. There is power in the spoken word. Help me to always be mindful to speak positive, edifying things. I want to build others up and be able to testify of your wonderfulness.

Amen sister.....you have the right to remain silent b/c everything you say....can & will be held against you! It's like that old Gleaner song...be careful little mouth what you say! :)
Yes, such a simple song packs a great lesson. We want to speak life into each other, not hurt or death. Blessings and cursing come from the mouth. What will we choose?
