now to control my tongue i need GOD’s help
everyday. i can’t do it in my own power,
i need supernatural power. we can’t do
it on our own so we need to ask GOD to help us.
a good way to start every morning is to pray what
the psalmist in psalm 141.3 (ncv) prayed, LORD, help me control my tongue; help
me be careful about what i say. pray
that when you are about to criticize your spouse. pray that when you are about to be
judgemental. “ LORD, don’t let me say things without thinking. please don’t let me say things off the cuff
and then i regret it.” just pray that daily,
LORD, help me control my tongue; help me be careful about what i say.
sidlow baxter said,
“the proof that GOD’s SPIRIT is in your life is not that you speak in an
unknown tongue but you control the tongue you know.” if you are careful about what you say and you
ask GOD then HE will give you the power to not slander, not lie, not
exaggerate.
another thing to be reminded of is to read GOD’s
word. this is also a way HE will help us.
there is a computer statement that says, garbage
in, garbage out. what goes into your
mind, goes into your heart. what goes
into your heart, comes out of your mouth.
fill your mind with the word of GOD – with positive things, whatsoever
things that are true, etc. – think on these things.
GOD is there to empower us through HIS word and
through HIS SPIRIT. just read and ask.
just a thought from the front porch…
