Muzzling My Mouth Read Ephesians 4:25-32 Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen. Ephesians 4:29 Immediately psalm 39:1 came to mind :I will watch my ways and keep my tongue from sin :I will put a muzzle on my mouth, if the psalmist had the self-control to keep his mouth shut, why dont I? Even when I do manage to keep my mouth shut, I seethe in silence. But that is sin waiting to happen. Ive learned that living righteously and keeping my mouth from sin requires a lot of close communication with God. Lord, put a muzzle over my mouth, has become a frequent prayer of mine. Whenever Im feeling Irratated, I ask God to calm me. I ask God to give me the strength to conduct myself with gentleness. I still make mistakes and allow angry words to roll off my lips. I still make and allow angry words to roll off my lips. I sometimes speak in a tone that is offensive. But my convicted spirit prompts me to confess my sin to God and ask forgiveness. Then I ask God to strengthen my commitment to speak with kindness and self-control the next time anger or frustration tries to get the better of me Dear heavenly father, may our words be used for goodness, grace and Godliness.Amen
