Managing my Mouth
from The HILLTop Hosted by Bishop Terry L. Hill, Jr.
The tongue is small, but it carries enormous power over the direction of our lives. Just as a tiny rudder steers a massive ship, our words steer everything around us, including our relationships, our opportunities, and our own potential. Proverbs 18:21 reminds us that death and life are in the power of the tongue, which means we must be intentional about what we speak over ourselves and others. No person can tame the tongue alone. It requires the Holy Spirit working in us to produce the self-control we need. Managing the mouth also starts with managing the mind, because whatever fills our hearts will eventually come out of our lips. When we ask God to guard our words and take seriously what we allow to feed our thinking, we position ourselves to speak in a way that reflects that we belong to Him.
