Proverbs 10:19
In the multitude of words sin is not lacking,
But he who restrains his lips is wise.

Words can get you into a lot of trouble. If you gossip about someone, you are talking not about facts, but about things you may not know anything about. If you are negative in attitude and in the words you speak, you may cause someone to stumble and loose their direction to Christ. If you allow someone else's words to make you stumble, then you are taking your eyes off Jesus and you will sin. What is the solution?
Be very careful on the words that are used. Ask the Holy Spirit to direct you in what words to say to reach others for Christ. Ask the Holy Spirit to direct you in what words to say to encourage others. Ask the Holy Spirit to direct you in keeping your eyes on Christ.
Lord, I ask you to direct my words today. Show me what I am to say and to whom I am to say those words. May my words be a testimony to YOU. I want to bring glory to your name. Amen.
" Life is 10% what happens to us and 90% how we respond to it. Attitude is the single most significant decision I make each day "
