Every morning when we wake up, after we have thanked God for another day, we should also remember to ask Him to guide our speech for that day.
We should then watch for His guidance,
and be careful what we say. It is so easy to point out other people's mistakes be it husband/wife/child or stranger. Some of us even think it is Okay to be confrontational, and say nasty things either directly or behind the victim's
back.
When someone does or says something we do not like, or that is hurtful, we should think before we speak. Once a word is spoken, we cannot take it back, no matter how sorry we are, the harm is already done. We cannot erase it.
Proverbs:18:21 says "Life and death are in the power of the tongue."
James:3:8 says "Even so the tongue is a little member and boasteth great things; behold how great a matter a little fire kindleth."
