'Whosoever keeps his mouth and his tongue keeps himself out of trouble" Proverbs 21:23 (ESV)
1. It is not every matter you should lend your voice to. Wisdom demands that you should not speak unless you have to. When you speak concerning every issue, you will soon discover that your words will carry less importance.
2. It is unwise to express your opinion when you are angry. This often leads one to saying things one would regret. In moments of anger a person will release facts that ought to be buried. The best thing to do when you are angered is to keep quiet and sin not!
3. Your words will save you or enslave you. This demands that you should be aware of the consequences of your words. Under no circumstances should you tell a lie. A lie expands and brings worse repercussion than the fear it tried to avert. Keep your tongue from lies.
4. Speak pure. Sometimes the trends change in favour of diry talk, don't join in. A lot of people are swearing and cursing as they speak but that is below God's standard. The quality of words that leave your mouth shows your internal value. If your words do not edify people around you, you have spoken in vain.
5. Finally, your mouth will keep you out of trouble if you use it well. Some people have spoken words that lead them to the grave. The best way to train your tongue for your exemption from trouble is to give it to God. Let Jesus use you tongue, speak for Him, reach nations for Him and expand territories of righteousness using your tongue.
Shalom.
