SOAP: Watch those lips

Scripture: Proverbs 13:3

He who guards his lips, guards his life

but he who speaks rashly will come to ruin.

Observation: Watch what you say, as there will be a consequence for what comes out of your mouth

Application: Words can be powerful. I need to really think about what is coming out of my mouth and what impact that can have—positively and negatively.

I can build up or bring down. And sometimes commiserating really just brings everyone down.

Prayer: Lord, please guide me and remind me to stop and think before I speak. Sometimes I get frustrated and let words fly before I think of their impact. Please guide me to use my lips and words as you intended. I don’t want to bring anyone down. I want to be an encourager. Please guide me—I need you.
