Psalm 39:1 (NKJV) 39 I said, “I will guard my ways, Lest I sin with my tongue; I will restrain my mouth with a muzzle, While the wicked are before me.”
This is surely something that we all need to be reminded of from time to time.
The tongue; It’s one of the smallest parts of the body, but yet very powerful and it can be very damaging.
We have to really try hard to keep it muzzled or quiet at times. I find that in situations where I want to defend myself, it is in those moments that I hear God say, “hold it. Don’t say a word”.
But, the thing to remember in those moments is that, most times, saying nothing may actually be saying a lot.
It truly takes discipline to pull back and restrain ourselves.
We think it would be better to just speak up and bring correction. But God knows better. And there are going to be times when we just need to muzzle it.
Let God’s spirit guide us. His ways are perfect.
