You Can’t Tell Me What To Say!

Come on, you’ve said it before, or a least thought it. I have the right to say what ever I want, right? The Bible describes this as the attitude of one who refuses to surrender their speech to the Lord.

“Who have said, with our tongue will we prevail; our lips are our own: who is lord over us?” Psalm 12:4

As Christians, Jesus Christ is Lord over us, and as those who have “tasted His goodness,” then we are commanded to put away “all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings…” 1 Peter 2:1-3

No, I cannot be the lord of your lips, but simply a messenger bringing this word, “For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile:” 1 Peter 3:10

My prayer today is that you will let Jesus Christ be the Lord of your lips. “Set a watch, O LORD, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips. ” Psalm 141:3
