Scripture Proverbs 13:3 He who guards his mouth preserves his life, But he who opens wide his lips shall have destruction. <\/p>\n
Observation: This has been a problem with me so much of my life, saying something I shouldn\u2019t. It\u2019s amazing as soon as the words come out of your mouth, you wish they didn\u2019t. Usually, pride is the catapult of these unwise words, hoping to appear in a better light, when all of a sudden it feels as if your turned out the light instead. <\/p>\n
Application: Thanks to my Lord I take situations in prayer and think before I speak. I ask that he humbles me and uses me. No one listens to a big mouth, but when you are sincere and listen instead of speaking, it blesses others. I have so much more joy being the person that edifies someone instead of tearing them down and I have the Holy Spirit to thank for that, because that is not my nature.<\/p>\n
Prayer: My Lord please use your servant to fulfill the purpose you have created me for. Humble me before others and that I would point others to you instead of making a spectacle of myself. I love you Lord use me as you desire.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
