People often “tune out” the man or woman who is always blabbing about something or other. By contrast, we pay attention to those who choose their words wisely. When we think before we speak, we save ourselves a world of grief. “Do you see a man hasty in his words? There is more hope for a fool than for him” (Proverbs 29:20).
We will all be held accountable for our words, whether written or spoken (Matt 12:36-37). “Even so, the tongue is a little member and boasts great things” (James 3:5). Christians have the great gift of God’s Holy Spirit to help them be careful of their words.
