Better Stewards Of Our Words~
How are we DECREASING SO THAT HE MAY INCREASE while murmuring and complaining? Thank God for His Holy Spirit that resides within us to pull our coat tail when we're in the thick of being disobedient. What do you mean by that Sis Tracie? When we complain, murmur, talk negative, speak things opposite of the word we are being DISOBEDIENT! Remember the Lord has blessed us with two guards to use daily "Set a watch, O LORD, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips." Psalm 141:3. Those two guards are our teeth and lips! So how are we as the body of Christ being disobedient? Once we know TRUTH, spiritual right from wrong, we must at all times live it, speak it and do it! "Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin." James 4:17.
I'm confessing out loud before my brethren that I too have those days when I allow my flesh to rise up and just talk nonsense. But we serve a GOD that is Faithful/Just and will forgive us by asking! The Holy Spirit lead me to this passage on this morning -"Be not rash with thy mouth, and let not thine heart be hasty to utter any thing before God: for God is in heaven, and thou upon earth: therefore let thy words be few" Ecclesiastes 5:2.
You see that, let our words be few. Every idle/shallow word we speak is in front of God! I'm praying that the Lord will continue to have mercy upon me, but most of all continue to mold into the image of His Son's likeness in EVERY area of our life.
Be Blessed~
