Proverbs
8:8 All the words of my mouth are righteous; there is nothing twisted or
crooked in them
Our
pastor in a recent message reminded us that our speech reflects who we really
are. Many times we assume that if we refrain from foul four letter words then
we are OK. Yet, there is much more to it than that; I mean when is it ever that
simple right! Keeping our speech “righteous” means much more than just not
spitting our curse words every other breath. It means using words that build up
instead of tear down. It means that we are truthful not matter how hard it is.
It means we don’t gossip…ever. It means that we refrain from yelling in our
anger; we harness all that emotion. It means that sometimes there are things we
really really want to say but we just can’t, no matter what. It means that if
we say we are believers we must show it through the words of our mouths.
Generally speaking it’s easier to say it than to do it, but it’s much harder to
say it all the time, day in and day out.
