Good Morning!! Our speech tells much about us. Our accent indicates the country or region from which we came. Our words reveal education or refinement, or the lack of it. Our topics of discussion point to our chief interests in life, for we talk about the things we love the most. And our conversation reveals our eternal destination, for travelers to heaven will speak love; "the language of Glory," while travelers to hell will speak hate; "the language of the pit."
Your speech betrays you.—Matthew 26:73 (NIV)
The apostle Peter, on the night Jesus was arrested, made the mistake of opening his mouth. When he spoke, some of the bystanders recognized his dialect and said, "Surely you also are one of them, for your speech betrays you". Although he tried to deny their accusation, his speech revealed who he really was,...and where he'd been.
Do we sound like Christians?
A word from our mouth speaks volumes about our heart.
Holy Spirit, delay our tongue, and allow our words to be sweet, soft and healing,...so that they may be found pleasing to Our Father in Heaven. Amen.
"Obedience is the key to having the presence of God in our lives,
...if we're not obeying, we aren't really walking with Him."
