Today's Thought

 Today's Thought:

Be not rash with your mouth, nor let your heart be hasty to utter a word before God, for God is in heaven and you are on earth. Therefore let your words be few. The more words, the more vanity, and what is the advantage to man? For we all stumble in many ways. And if anyone does not stumble in what he says, he is a perfect man, able also to bridle his whole body. Keep your tongue from evil and your lips from speaking deceit. Whoever restrains his words has knowledge, and he who has a cool spirit is a man of understanding. Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing. Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear. Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how you ought to answer each person. (Ecc 5:2, 6:11; James 3:2; Psa 34:13; Pro 17:27; 1Thes 5:11; Eph 4:29; Col 4:6)
