Be Careful About What You Say

Be Careful About What You Say

Those who are careful about what they say protect their lives, but whoever speaks without thinking will be ruined.  Proverbs 13:3 (NCV)

This week in the devotionals we will be covering the idea of Mastering Your Mouth.  It’s important that we watch what we say so we don’t hurt others and damage relationships.  Just think about it – when is the last time something good came out of you speaking impulsively when you were angry or frustrated?  The Bible verse above specifically tells us to be careful about what we say to others because…it benefits us!  Today, think about how being careful about what you say at family gatherings, at work, at picnics, etc., benefits you.
