Text: Matthew 12:32-50
Jesus Christ is warning us to be careful with our tongue (v.36). There is nothing like slip of the tongue or a simple joke. This is because every word that we speak is from the heart, a bad fruit will always come from a bad tree (v.33). So, we need to be careful with the words we utter, because they indicate how bad or good our hearts are.
Meditate on verses 36-37. How are you going to apply them to your life?
Our Father in heaven, in the name of Jesus Christ, I pray that You instill in me the habit of choosing good words; so that my words are like incense before You; set a guard over my mouth, O Lord, I pray. For I know I will have to account for my words on the Day of Judgement.
Amen.
