I have found myself lately with the inability to keep my mouth shut. Ever been there? I admit that I am a talker, always have been. I admit that I have an opinion about most everything. And, I admit that most of the time, you don't even have to ask my opinion, I will freely give it.
Lately, however, I have found myself running off at the mouth way too much and wishing I could keep quiet. I truly wish you would pray for me concerning this. I don't go telling secrets. I don't go telling others things about someone else. I just can't seem to not say what I shouldn't say. Man, what is wrong with me?
I have offended more people in the last month by my, what I think are innocent opinions and queries, than I have in years. As soon as it happens, I realize that I shouldn't have said that or asked that but it is too late. It would be nice to have an undo button but life is without that option.
Today's word comes from James 3:8, NIV, which reads, "But no human being can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison."
Man cannot tame the tongue; we have to rely on GOD to do that. Obviously, lately, I have failed miserably at that. The tongue is such a little thing, such a small part in the human body, but it can do so much damage and cause so much hurt. I cannot control it.
The tongue, what a burdensome thing it can be. Pray that I will allow GOD to use mine for good.
Be Blessed,
Mickey T
