Proverbs 12:18 Reckless words pierce like a sword, but the tongue of the wise brings healing.
James 1:19 ....Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to anger.
Ephesians 4:29 Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouth, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.
Don't you just hate it when the Bible gets personal?!! Today's "Jesus Calling" devotional is about watching what we say. That
our words have the ability to bless or to wound. Often it's not the words that I use that are bad, the problem comes with how I say things... just a bit of sarcasm and possibly a little eye rolling thrown in. I hate that I do that. It is not attractive in a teenager--it is down right ugly in a fifty three year old! Something to remember this week to work on.
