Self-control of the mouth – Part II
Talking and listening!
Harsh reality #2 – talking too much!!! This is something I definitely have to watch. I think most of us do. I would love to talk a lot if everything I say is filled with the Spirit. But I know that’s not true. That’s where the self-control needs to come in.
But in addition to our talking, we can listen more, but only to the wholesome stuff. We need the self-control to stop listening when it comes to gossip and such.
‘Don’t let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.’ Ephesians 4:9
Lord, fill our mouths and words and minds with You!
