Sunday, October 5, 2014Greetings Bible Enthusiast!
Psalm 39:1
I said, "I will guard my ways,
Lest I sin with my tongue;
I will restrain my mouth with a muzzle."In the last issue, we discussed praying before we speak, to help guard our mouth. I had to smile to myself when I found this scripture in Psalms. David, a man after God's own heart, and yet he said that he was going to restrain his mouth with a muzzle! It gives hope to us all! If he needed a muzzle, then we are in good company in our struggle to control our mouth!
God Bless You!
