We often feel compelled to “have the last word” in conversations, but having the right words is far more important. Scripture reveals: “Death and life are in the power of the tongue”. Since we have no control over our words after they depart our lips, it is necessary that great care must be given BEFORE we speak. A Biblical and Spirit-controlled filter between the mind and the mouth serves everyone’s best interest, avoiding needless pain and giving love the chance to be our guide. Slowing the velocity of my replies to others increases the effectiveness of the filter. Lord, let Your Word saturate my thoughts, and transform my spoken words into instruments of life. May only what is bathed in Your love and filled with Your truth leave my lips.
