The wicked is snared by the transgression of his lips: but the just shall come out of trouble. — Proverbs 12:13 KJV
Evildoers are trapped by their sinful talk, and so the innocent escape trouble. — Proverbs 12:13 NIV
Thought and Reflection
Can our mouths get us in trouble? Absolutely yes! This is especially true for someone who is suffering from evil heart. Talk can reveal so much about our inner lives, and evil people have a lot to hide. This brings us back to ourselves.
What does our talk tell us about ourselves? Is it a way to escape trouble? Or does it expose the depths of evil in our souls and hearts?
My Prayer
Heavenly Father, may the words of my mouth and the thoughts of my heart be pure and holy in Your eyes. By the power of Your Spirit, purify my heart, mind, and body so that I may serve You in honor and righteousness.
Strengthen me so that when I do open my mouth, the words that come out clearly manifest that You are the Lord of my life. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.
