How important is our speech? Jesus said it revealed what was going on in our hearts. Proverbs repeatedly tells us that our words can wound and destroy or heal and bring life. The apostle Paul commands us to speak only what will benefit those who hear us. In light of these Scriptures, David’s prayer in today’s verse is very appropriate. Only God can help us tame our speech and use its power to bless. Let’s invite him into our world of speech by purifying our hearts and taking control of what we say so we can use our speech for the good of those around us! “Set a guard over my mouth, O LORD; keep watch over the door of my lips”.Psalm 141:3

But let all who take refuge in you [O Lord] be glad; let them ever sing for joy. Spread your protection over them, that those who love your name may rejoice
