Keep Your Tongue from Evil?
Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who keep their tongue from evil. In Jesus’ name, amen.
What path will you take? Scripture is full of wise counsel. Do people always make the right decisions based on the advice? No. Not everyone follows wise counsel. It is often hard to take words of wisdom and translate them into action.
Psalm 34:11-14 provides some guidance:
“Come, O children, listen to me;
I will teach you the fear of the Lord.
What man is there who desires life
and loves many days, that he may see good?
Keep your tongue from evil
and your lips from speaking deceit.
Turn away from evil and do good;
seek peace and pursue it.”
These few passages are a powerful reminder of what to avoid and the actions to take. A person should be careful what they say. The world would be a far better place if everyone would seek peace and pursue it.
Take the advice of Scripture, watch your tongue, and avoid evil. Start on the right path today.
