Jesus tells us that our tongues are powerful weapons. In Proverbs 18:21 "The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit" we can see the magnitude of power it has.
This past week I have been given many reasons to bite it out.
This whole thing started by me opening my mouth and having a conversation that I now regret ever having. Dont get me wrong, it wasnt a bad conversation. It just can be taken as slightly offensive if you look at it the wrong way, although I didnt really recognize it until after I said it.
My whole life my dad has taught me that I should never trust people. Not in a bad way or even saying that everyone is sketchy and cant be trusted. He was just telling me that I should protect myself by not opening up to everyone and their mother.
Sadly, I learned that the hard way this week. I was talking to two people, one of which i didnt even realize i was offending until it was too late. I was speaking words out of anger and annoyance. Which resulted in me writing this and the unsettling and deafening loudness of the silence that has fallen onto me and the people in my life.
Now it just seems like the enemy is trying to get in my head and mess with me. Im not asking for advice, but I am asking for prayer and the Lord's guidance to fall on me.
