The problems of the world could be solved overnight if men could get victory over their tongues. Suppose there was no anger, no profanity, no lying, no grumbling or complaining; suppose there were no dirty stories told, no unjust criticismwhat a different world this would be! The Bible teaches that a man who can control his tongue can control his whole personality. We should ask ourselves three questions before we speak: Is it true? Is it kind? Does it glorify Christ? If we would always think before we speak, there would be much less evil speaking, and there would soon be a spiritual awakening that would sweep the church in America.If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this mans religion is vain.James 1:26PRAYER FOR THE DAYMay I remember how important it is to keep a check on my tongue. I pray that my conversation this day will be pleasing in Your sight, Lord.

It sounds 'good' but it's not the perfect. Our goal is to speak the words the Holy Spirit gives us at all times. This may not sound kind sometimes but it will not bow to the praise of men. Out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks, if the heart has streams of Living Water as it's product, then that is what will come out.
