Words are powerful; take them seriously. Words can be your salvation. Words can also be your damnation. (Matthew 12:37).
Speaking, the verbal expression of ones opinion. What we say matters. Do we think before we speak, or do we just do, to later suffer the consequences of not thinking. I know that in the matters of the Lord you should just do after listening, and if that includes speaking, by all means do so. Watch what you say, guard your words as you guard your heart. The tongue is a two edged sword, able to be mean and cynical, but it can also be kind and real.
choose what side of the sword you use, and choose wisely, for actions speak louder than words, but the words you do speak are heard and taken to heart no matter how much they are ignored. Discern what to say and when to say it. Your opinion may not always be heard, but sometimes that may be for the better.
awesome verse! and discerning your words are indeed needed. Alot of the time we don't listen to what God is telling us to say, but we go off of our emotions in that moment, good one elissa.
