Guard your mouth

Proverbs  21:23 Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue keepeth his soul from troubles.

 Our words hold tremendous power. Just as a guard protects a precious treasure, we must guard our mouths to protect ourselves from the calamity that careless words can bring.

Our tongues are like keys that can either unlock blessings or unleash turmoil. In the rush of everyday life, it's easy to speak without thinking, to utter words without considering their impact. Yet, we are  reminded  that guarding our mouth is a key to keeping calamity away from us.

Imagine a world where our words are filled with kindness, encouragement, and love. It's a world where relationships flourish, and hearts are uplifted. But when we neglect to guard our mouths, our words can wound, divide, and sow discord.

Let us be mindful of the words we choose, for they shape not only our own destiny but also the world around us. Take a moment before speaking – ask yourself, "Are my words bringing life or causing harm?"

In this journey of guarding our mouths, let us turn to the wisdom found in scripture. Let the teachings of love, compassion, and humility guide our speech. Proverbs 21:23 reminds us that by guarding our mouths, we protect ourselves from the calamities that may arise from thoughtless or hurtful words.

May we strive to be guardians of positive communication, fostering unity and understanding. As we embark on this path, let our words be a source of comfort, inspiration, and joy. May the light of our speech dispel darkness, and may the love in our words be a beacon of hope for all.

In conclusion, we will either reap the consequences of our words or its blessings. The scripture says in Colossians  4:6 Let your speech be alway with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man. Let us, therefore, guard  our mouths with the utmost care, and in doing so, find the peace and harmony that come from a heart and tongue guided by the principles of love and compassion. Amen.

God bless you.
