Day 32
But I say unto you,
that every idle word that men shall speak,
they shall give an account thereof in the day of judgment.
For by thy words thou shalt be justified,
and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.
Matthew 12:36-37
He that hath knowledge spareth his words:
and a man of understanding is of excellent spirit.
Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise:
and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed as a man of understanding.
Proverbs 17:27-28
Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:
for the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.
James 2:19-20
Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth,
but that which is good to the use of edifying,
that it may minister grace unto the hearers.
Ephesians 4:29
-for every idle word there will be a time of accounting
-idle words are careless words – they reveal what is in the heart
Lord, help me to think before speaking – to keep silent when I have nothing of value to say – to remember that words can hurt.
Lord, guide my writing.
Give me the words to share my heart.
Words that encourage.
Words that heal.
Words that teach.
Words that nourish the soul.
A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver.
Proverbs 25:11
