Watch Your Words

I was reading today in Proverbs 15, and was really struck again by how important it is to let the words from our mouths be words that are pleasing, wise, and wholesome. I read things like, "Gentle words bring life and health"; "Everyone enjoys a fitting reply; it is wonderful to say the right thing at the right time!"; "he (God) delights in pure words."; "The godly think before speaking"
Our words can do great damage or bring great healing and encouragement. So remember today to watch your words, and take the time to think before you speak. Look for an opportunity today to bless someone with the words from your mouth. An encouraging word at the right time can bring wonderful results in a persons life and day.
