Today's Word - Guard Your Mouth

I enjoyed meditating on this today.

Today’s Scripture “He who guards his mouth keeps his life, but he who opens wide his lips comes to ruin.” (Proverbs 13:3, AMP) Guard Your Mouth

We’ve all said things we wish we       could take back. Scripture says that when we guard our mouth, we keep     our life. That’s because our words determine the direction of our lives,     and wrong words can get us off     course very quickly. The Bible tells us that life and           death are in the power of the         tongue. There’s no neutral ground.       We are either sowing seeds of               life and productivity with our            words, or we are sowing seeds               of ruin and destruction with our words. Today is a good day to take         inventory of your words and make.       the decision to sow only good seeds. Sow seeds of life by speaking God’s Word over yourself and those around you. Make the decision today that      your words will bring glory to the         Lord as you guard your mouth             and keep your life!

A Prayer for Today

“Father, I give You my every thought, word and action. Help me, Holy        Spirit, to live a life pleasing to You            in every way. Help me to guard              my mouth and keep my life             moving forward in a godly direction         in Jesus’ name. Amen.”
