Proverbs 15:28 NLT The heart of the godly thinks carefully before speaking; the mouth of the wicked overflows with evil words.
A lot of marriages, friendships, and jobs would’ve been saved if people would think before they speak. What happens is people get emotional and they let their emotions lead them to say whatever feels good to their flesh. They may say “I hate you”, “this job sucks anyway” or “you’re stupid,” all accompanied with some expletives.
First of all, our words have power and we shouldn’t say anything we don’t want coming to pass (Prov. 18:21).
Secondly, we may be dissatisfied with the person we’re speaking with, but there’s always a better way to say something. If you can’t think of a better way of saying something, learn to be silent.
Finally, in any situation, think before you speak. Think about the consequences of your statements. Think about how the other person will feel. Think about how you’re representing the Kingdom of God.
Don’t let your flesh get the glory by saying whatever you feel. Give God glory by controlling your emotions, covering your mouth, and allow Him to fight your battles.
