Proverbs 21:23 "The one who guards his mouth and tongue keep himself out of trouble."Although the tongue is little, it is very powerful. It can be used to encourage, comfort and instruct those around us. It can share the gospel with the lost. Or it can be used to destroy, criticize, slander or deceive others.
How about us? Do we let our tongues get us into trouble? Do we regret a hasty comment and wish we could retrieve it? Do we use our tongues to cut down others, causing them pain and sorrow? Well, it is our daily decision to allow God to control our tongue.

What a powerful post. So often we forget that God is everywhere and He sees and knows all so we are to act as though we could see Him in our presence! Thanks for the wonderful reminder!

Guarding the tongue is a huge problem in the church. It causes so much hurt, and does not bring glory to our Lord Jesus. Thanks for sharing. Blessings on your day!!

That verse is a sermon within it's self. A great reminder.
