(Prov 13:3 NKJV) He who guards his mouth preserves his life, But he who opens wide his lips shall have destruction.
Here’s a good one for the weekend!
Sometimes our mouths are our worst enemies! We try to point the finger at others when we hear them talking, but most times we fail to hear ourselves when we start gossiping or speaking about things that are better left unsaid.
There’s an old saying that I really like, and sometimes I have to remind myself of this to help keep me accountable. The saying goes like this: If a person will talk to you about someone else, they will also talk to someone else about you.
We need to make sure we’re not the ones doing the talking! Oh, and we also need to make sure we’re not listening when a person starts talking about someone else.
Let’s make a conscious effort over the weekend to refrain from talking negatively about anyone else. I bet we’ll catch ourselves more often than we realize!
