Words?

What do our words say about who we are? What should our words say about who we are in Jesus?

Proverbs 10:19 In a multitude of words sin is not lacking, but he who restrains his lips is wise.

1 Corinthians 14:19 Yet in the church I would rather speak five words with my understanding, that I may teach others also, than ten thousand words in a tongue.

Ecclesiastes 5:2 Do not be rash with your mouth, and let not your heart utter anything hastily before God. For God is in heaven, and you are on earth; Therefore let your words be few.

Proverbs 25:11 A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silver.

How often do we speak before listening?

Proverbs 18:13 He who answers a matter before he hears it, it is folly and shame to him.

James 1:19 So then, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath,

Practice, Practice, Practice and then we start Practicing again.

I am God's work in progress. God's word says "be holy as I am holy." The only way to accomplish this is to turn our lives over to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I have found that this is a learning process but begins with a real desire to know Him. My prayer is Lord keep me on your paths of righteousness bringing glory and honor to your name.
