Control the Tongue

God spoke about the tongue – repeatedly and loudly!

It is an area I have to watch out for.

 The quiet words of the wise are more effective than the ranting of a king of fools ( eccl 9:17)

 Fools find no pleasure in understanding
but delight in airing their own opinions. (prv 18:2)

The mouths of fools are their undoing,
and their lips are a snare to their very lives. (prv 18:7)

To answer before listening—
that is folly and shame. (prv 18:13)

²⁹ Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers. (Eph 4:29)

Lord teach me to be gracious with my words and self controlled with my toungue.

By your grace lord . mould me to become like you.
