Come, you children, listen to me; I will teach you the fear of the LORD. Who is the man who desires life, and loves many days, that he may see good? Keep your tongue from evil, and your lips from speaking deceit. Depart from evil and do good; Seek peace and pursue it. Psalm 34:11-14
Come, you children, listen to me; I will teach you the fear of the LORD. Who is the man who desires life, and loves many days, that he may see good? Keep your tongue from evil, and your lips from speaking deceit. Depart from evil and do good; Seek peace and pursue it. Psalm 34:11-14
It is almost impossible to tame our tongues. Sometimes, I think it has a mind of its own, "Why did I say that?" The question arises, why did you think that? The word tells us to take captive every thought before it springs out and defiles us by hurting someone or ourselves.
God watches over us and hears our words and knows our thoughts, so this should remind us to control ourselves and depart from evil. This can occur if we seek His presence, which in turn allows His peace to guard our minds and our tongues.
There is a distinction in the earth and in our government that is revealing the conservative and the liberal, whose motives are dead set against anything good. Lawlessness is spreading like wildfire, and God is against the wicked who speak words of destruction and lies against the righteous!
The eyes of the LORD are on the righteous, and His ears are open to their cry. The face of the LORD is against those who do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth. The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles. The LORD is near to those who have a broken heart and saves such as have a contrite spirit. Psalm 34:15-18
