CAREFULLY WEIGH YOUR WORDS
Bible in A Year: Numbers 13:26-33, Numbers 14; Luke 4:14-37;
Psalms 36:1-12
“A revelation is within my heart about the disobedience of the wicked: “There is no fear of God before his eyes.” For he flatters himself in his own eyes, too much to detect and hate his sin. The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit. He has ceased to be wise and to do good.”
Psalm 36:1-3 WEB
The topic to consider for us today is a Karen saying, which translates as, “As you carefully eat hot food by blowing on it to cool it down, carefully weigh your words before you speak.” Things we see today can be exciting as well as frightening. We are to be careful, and one thing to be careful with is our words. Sometimes, we hear things without knowing all the facts and allow them to entice us or to hurt us to the point where we cannot control ourselves. We then want to react. Everyone has the right to say what he or she wants. However, we can err by saying things without weighing our words beforehand. Hence, it is essential that we do not trust gullibly or speak carelessly. The wise saying of our forefathers warned us to carefully deliberate upon what is going on, especially when facing trouble. Because we do not carefully blow on our food to cool it down, or we do not carefully weigh our words, we see divisions and declining trust leading to fighting against one another. This is the way of the world. But it is not too late to mend our ways. For believers, what we need to understand is God is truth. God hates wicked and deceitful mouths. God sees the good and the bad.
Reflection
How can we distinguish between the truth that has been distorted by people and lies that appear truthful?
Prayer
Dear Father God, help us so our words will not become poison or stumbling blocks for ourselves and others. Please let Your Holy Spirit advise us and guard our words . In Jesus’ Name we pray. Amen.
