“The mind of the righteous person thinks before answering, but the mouth of the wicked blurts out evil things.” ~Proverbs 15:28
Reading through Proverbs is like looking through a fine art museum, it dazzles the senses. When King Solomon became king, he asked the Lord for help. The Lord told him he would give whatever he asked for. Solomon asked for wisdom to rule God’s people. Because of this God gave him wisdom and a whole lot more. Solomon was the wisest man to ever live. It was Solomon who wrote most of the Proverbs, so we can learn a lot from his words.
As Christians we should think before we say anything. I know I have a tendency to say something and as soon as the words flow past my lips, I wish I could push them back into my mouth! The problem is we can’t, once something is said it is out there for everyone to hear. That is why a wise person thinks before saying something. But for a Christian it is more than that. We are ambassadors for Christ, we represent the King. As ambassadors of Christ we should never say anything that would make Christ look bad in the eyes of others. In other words never say anything that would take from the glory of our King, who died for us.
Lord guard my lips! Lord please let the words I say to others be pleasing to your ears. I love you Lord and I would never want to take anything away from your glory, Lord help me be a good ambassador for you with my words! Amen
