What comes out of your mouth?
SonLight Daily Devotional Daily Devotional for June 25

Matthew 12:34 "O generation of vipers, how can you, being evil, speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh."

The viper is full of deadly poison. In today's society, no matter where you may go, you hear deadly poison coming out of mankind's mouth. You may stand at a local bus stop for children and hear all kinds of four letter words. You may be standing in line at a store and hear an old timer using Christ Jesus name in vain as they discuss something with another person.

When you are around your child, what comes out of your mouth? The four letter words, the negativity of today's workplace; or do you speak that word that edifies?

Ephesians 4:29 "Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers."

If your language is continually taking the Lord's name in vain, you are breaking one of the ten commandments daily. If you don't get right and ask God to forgive you, you will have a big problem with eternity.

Matthew 12:37 "For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned."

Husbands and wives - how do you speak to each other? Hopefully you do not use the four letter words, because that will destroy your marriage. Words are very important. Please use words to build others up such as "Jesus loves you", "God is love". Live today with the love of Christ Jesus in the abundance of your heart, so uncreated life can fill your mouth.

Ask Christ Jesus into your heart today, for He can change the language that comes out of your mouth.

Bible References (KJV)

Exodus 20:7 "Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain."
