Proverbs 13 3 “He that keepeth his mouth keepeth is life: but he that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction.”
The old saying goes, “Measure twice and cut once.” Many times a careless measurement has been caught and a big waste of material and time eliminated by simply eliminated by simply measuring a second time. By the same token, a lot of embarrassment and guilt can be stopped by simply thinking before one speaks. For many of us it is “open mouth, insert foot.”
Lord, we love You today and seek to be good witnesses of Christian faith. Help us, Father, to carefully and scripturally think through any negative thoughts to our responding to a situation. Many words can not be taken back or opportunities to minister regained if we don’t think first. Make us thoughtful servants. In His service we live. Amen.
