Careless

One Simple Truth
Careless words flow from careless people.

Scripture
Proverbs 10:19 ‭ESV‬‬ (Read the Full Chapter Here)
When words are many, transgression is not lacking, but whoever restrains his lips is prudent.

We all make mistakes with our words, but do we care? Do we care if our words dishonor the Lord? Do we care if our words deflate or destroy other people? Do we care if our words stir up division? Do we care if we have an inability to restrain from speaking when it’s appropriate. Wisdom is telling us to care! We must pay attention to the flow, the tone, and the impact of our words. Careless words flow from careless people. As a follower of Christ, we don’t get the right to be careless.

Prayer
Our Father in heaven, You have given us the power of life and death in our words. Help me to be careful with my words today. In Jesus name, amen.
