Matthew 12: 35-37 The good man brings good things out of the good
stored up in him and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up
in him. But I tell you that man will
have to give account on the Day of Judgment for every careless word they have
spoken. For by your words you will be
acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned.
Ouch - Give an account for every carless word I have spoken?
These verses are a reminder to me that I need to fill myself up daily with the
Holy Spirit, God’s word, and praise songs.
It is a constant battle to say and do the right thing. I am sorry to say
that I have lost that battle often with family members. It seems in my home is the first place I lose
the battle of the tongue.
Today I am thankful for: Jesus’ instruction. I am thankful for wisdom to repent and move
forward with God. I am thankful that my
words can also acquit me. I am most thankful for Jesus, forgiveness and
grace.
Please pray with me – Dear Father thank
you for your grace and forgiveness.
Thank you Lord for you Holy word.
It is as relevant today as it was 2000 years ago. Help us to guard our tongues and to use our
words carefully, especially in front of those who are closest to us and to
those we need to set an example too. We
love you Lord. Amen
