James 3:9-10 (MSG)
With our tongues we bless God our Father; with the same tongues we curse the very men and women he made in his image. Curses and blessings out of the same mouth! My friends, this can’t go on.
Ouch! This bit of wisdom strikes close to home.
Good morning, Lord. I want to leave a trail of blessings, but I drop too many rude and unkind words as I go. Forgive me! Teach me to think before I speak, to choose my words carefully, to say things that encourage others. Let the words of my mouth be acceptable in Your sight (Psalm 19:14).
I love reading your devotional every morning. It means so very much to me. I always receive so much to think about and I thank God for you.
And I thank God for you, Jean, and others who read my thought and prayers.
