“I said to myself, I will watch what I do and not in sin in what I say. I will curb my tongue when the ungodly are around me.” Psalm 39:1
The Lord has truly taught me so many amazing lessons over this last week. And the biggest one that I want to share with you is one that He has been pounding on my heart for quite some time. I know this will sound familiar to some of you but there is a point the Lord is trying to make.
“And I tell you this, that you must give an account on judgment day of every idle word you speak.” Matthew 12:36
I don’t know about you, but to know that one day I will be held accountable for EVERY word I have spoken and will speak leaves me full of emotions. I just cannot imagine standing before the Lord and hearing those words being repeated back to me. The ugliness, the sadness, the hurt, the devastation overwhelms me. More so, the thought of what those words did to Jesus when I spoke them…
I have to start taking into account that all things said and done will one day be judged. That they all affect, reflect, and impact Christ Jesus.
Prayer: Lord I love You! Forgive me for often failing to remember that You are the one most affected by what I say and do. Amen
