Proverbs 13:3 – Those who control their tongue will have a long life; a quick retort can ruin everything.
The Holy Spirit through the apostle James said if you control your tongue you can control your life. So it is safe to say that if your life is out of control, you are not in control of your tongue.
Get a grip…on your tongue.
We can be very watchful of what goes in our mouths over our tongue but care less about what comes out passed our tongue.
If you are having trouble here are some tips:
1. Count to 10 before you speak.
2. Listen to what is being said instead of what you are going to say back once the other person is finished speaking.
3. If all else fails tape your mouth shut with duct tape for about 24 hours to get the feeling of what it is like to be quiet.
There is wisdom and long life in watching your mouth.
