Our word for today from the Word of God comes from Proverbs 18:21 - sobering words, The tongue has the power of life and death. Things we say can literally bring emotional life to people or emotional death. Youve experienced both. Peoples words that made you feel more alive; peoples words that made you feel like you were dying inside. Thats the kind of power your words have. And if we let some wrong words spill out, like a GI carelessly spilling his destination, we can do some terrible - sometimes irreparable damage. Proverbs, this great book of down-home, real-life wisdom from God, identifies some of the kinds of loose lips that sink ships. Listen with an open heart for a moment would you? It may be that one of these has been coming out of your mouth lately, and God wants to stop it before it does any more damage.
