The Daily Word of Hope Devotional Bible Fact: The Book of Hebrews is the only anonymous letter in the New Testament. † Words Once Spoken † Set a guard, O LORD, over my mouth; keep watch over the door of my lips! Psalms 141:2–3 ESV David prayed that the Lord would set a guard over his mouth to keep him from saying things that he should not. A mentor of mine used to say, Words unspoken, you are their master. Words once spoken, you become their slave. James said “If we put bits into the mouths of horses so that they obey us, we guide their whole bodies as well” (James 3:3). If you can control your tongue, then you can control the rest of your body. In the Old Testament (Num. 14:28) the Lord said “what I have heard you say, I will do to you”. In the New Testament (Mat. 12:36) Jesus said “I tell you, on the day of judgment people will give account for every careless word they speak, for by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned”. So we have an unchanging pattern throughout time that what comes out of your mouth, directly affects your life and your circumstances. Do not speak bad things over your life or those around you. Say good things about them, or just say nothing. Stay positive in your speech. When you are speaking today, listen to the words that you are saying. Pray that God sets a guard over your mouth and makes you aware of your words. Share this on Facebook Yours in Christ, Dion Todd - Pastor/Servant
