An evil man is trapped by his sinful talk, but a righteous man escapes trouble.
– Proverbs 12:13
Our mouths can sure get us into trouble, can’t they! This is especially true for someone whose heart is tainted by evil. Talk reveals so much about our interior life, and an evil person has a lot to hide! But that brings us to ourselves. What does our talk reveal about us? Does it help us escape trouble or does it reveal festering evil in our souls?
Lord God, may the words of my mouth and the thoughts of my heart be pure and holy in your sight. Through your cleansing Spirit, purify my spirit, heart, and body so that I may serve you in honor and righteousness. Strengthen me so that whey I do open my mouth, the words that come out clearly reveal that you are in charge of my life. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
