As the called-out children of God, we are to be set apart from
a world gone mad. Part of living righteously is watching our tongues. We don’t
need to fit in. We can be sure God will give us the opportunities to be different,
to set a higher standard, to be representatives of Jesus.
The
mouths of the righteous utter wisdom, and their tongues speak what is just.
Psalm 37:30
Are we fair when we
speak of others? Are we sharing the wisdom we learn from Christ? How about our
language?
Nor
should there be obscenity, foolish talk or coarse joking, which are out of
place, but rather thanksgiving. Ephesians 5:4
Not easy to be set
apart, to strive to be an example, to be fair and just, to watch the way we speak.
But it’s a worthy cause. Jesus is watching.
Lord,
We want to please You and to continue to move in a way that
honors You. It isn’t easy, but the Holy Spirit will help us and convict us when
we are in the wrong place or when we say the wrong thing. We are taking in Your
Words this week.
In Jesus name,
Amen
