Watching Our Mouths

Specially tough for the talkative ones. Which one of you readers are always, and I am stressing conscious and aware of doing my title 24/7? I'm guessing probably not a single one of you right? Because, if that was the case that would make you perfect and you all know my thoughts on being perfect. My thoughts on that is Duh, we all should just like I said in a previous deep thought, bite our tongues sometimes. Can you imagine the drastic change there would be? There would be less arguments and disagreements, no nasty talk, etc. The world would be a happy place.

Well, did you all know that God actually says something on the subject of watching our mouth. I don't think it says it verbatim to watch your mouth. However, from reading the rest of the phrases in the Bible I think we all are pretty intelligent and can get the soul meaning of it from context. God really does have a lot of commands when it comes to our talking with others. For example, being a wife I'm always told by other wives to just keep silent when the husbands talk. I definitely am not saying that wives should be a doormat but I am saying keeping silent, even when you don't agree with what he says is showing your husband respect. Maybe, talk lovingly and calmly later when both parties are calm and of sound mind. You all know husbands really want and need respect, remember?

For those of you who are not married, watching what you say is equally important. When we get into conversations with people we should really keep our talk far from things like gossip, words that are discouraging the other person, basically talk that will make a fight or disagreement arise? I think we really should be conscious of only saying things that will encourage or benefit others. Say stuff that will make the other person smile and not have sad tears or yell. I think if we all try to remember that, the world would be a better and happier place!

Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen. (‭Ephesians‬ ‭4‬:‭29‬ NIV)

A kind answer soothes angry feelings, but harsh words stir them up. (‭Proverbs‬ ‭15‬:‭1‬ CEVUK00)

He who goes about as a slanderer reveals secrets, Therefore do not associate with a gossip. (‭Proverbs‬ ‭20‬:‭19‬ NASB)
