Day 287 – Proverbs 13:3
Those who guard their lips preserve their lives, but those who speak rashly will come to ruin.
Proverbs 13:3, NIV
Guard your lips. The words that come out of your mouth will either make or break you. Think before you speak. Remember that your words are powerful. Do not allow your emotions to control you. There may be moments when you find it hard to keep your thoughts inside, but know that you can’t take them back again. So it’s better to keep quiet than do things that you will regret in the end. When you are conscious of what you say, it means that you acknowledge the weight of your words. It’s hard to do it at first, but by the grace of God, you will have the courage to control yourself.
May you always choose to guard your lips despite what you feel.
