Set a guard, O Lord, over my mouth; keep watch over the door of my lips! (Psalm141:3)
Our words have the power to wow people, to say something precious, beautiful, and uplifting.
A fool gives full vent to his spirit, but a wise man quietly holds it back… Do you see a man who is hasty in his words? There is more hope for a fool than for him.
Proverbs 29:11, 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. And grieve not the holy Spirit of God.
Ephesians 4:29
