Grace to Govern your Mouth
“Let no corrupt speech proceed out of your mouth, but only what is good for building others up as the need may be, that it may give grace to those who hear. Don’t grieve the Holy Spirit of God, in whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, outcry, and slander, be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tender hearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you.” (Ephesians 4:29-32 WEB)
If we have nothing helpful or constructive to say, most times it is better that we refrain from speaking, in case we release what we might regret.
Things you can consider before speaking:
1. Is what I want to say truthful, and will it build someone up?
2. Does what I want to say come from a pure motive of love and the desire to be a blessing to others, or does it stem from negative feelings and the desire to hurt?
The Holy Spirit dwelling inside you is grieved whenever you speak in a way that is not befitting of your position as a royal priest to God. He is most pleased when you encourage, comfort, and edify others with God’s word.
We can give others what we know we have first received through Christ.
When we learn how forgiven we are, we will be empowered to extend that same kind of forgiveness to others who have sinned against us.
A royal priest’s most-prized asset is probably his mouth, for it is his working tool. Our job is to speak words that impart grace, to be a channel of blessing wherever we go.
Govern your mouth well. What you say matters for you carry God’s authority in your spoken words.
Pray with me: “Dear Abba God, from this day forth, I want to be a good steward of my mouth, and be a royal priest who speaks blessings, comfort, exhortation, encouragement, and edification. Gone are the days where I just speak carelessly as if my words don’t have any effect. I receive Your grace to govern my mouth well, in Jesus’ name, Amen!”
