IDLE WORDS

Matthew 12:36-37 But I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment. For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.

Now that scripture is kinda scary. At least to me it is anyway. I have said so many idle words during my lifetime. Oh, what a shame that I didn't keep my mouth closed so many times. Have you ever said something that you really didn't mean and then wished you could take it back. Once it is out of our mouths it is to late. The hurt has already been done.

I can be so hateful sometimes. I don't even mean to most of the time. I just don't think before I speak. Now that God has brought that scripture home to me, I am going to really try to guard my mouth more closely. Oh what trouble such a small part of our body can cause.

Let's make a promise to ourselves that we will guard our words more carefully in the future.

God's blessings to each of you,
