Follow After RighteousnessSample

The Righteous Guards Their Tongue. 

“Watch your tongue and keep your mouth shut, and you will stay out of trouble.” Proverbs‬ ‭21:23‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Let God lead your language. Let God transform your heart. Let God lead your path and give you good success — His Success. When you follow after Christ — He will guide your footsteps and break you free from the carnal ways of the world. Let God heal your heart. Let God transform you. Let God lead the words that come from your mouth. 

Ephesians‬ ‭4:29‬ ‭KJV‬‬ declares, “Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.” The righteous choose to guard the words that they speak. 

In fact, Proverbs‬ ‭18:21‬ ‭KJV‬‬ declares, “Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.” Choose to sow into others. Choose to sow grace. Choose to sow mercy. Choose to sow life. 

Your words can heal. Your words can lift up others. Your words can encourage. Your words can minister into the lives of others. Surrender to Christ and let God use your words to lead, build, and restore others. 

Proverbs‬ ‭16:24‬ ‭KJV‬‬ declares, “Pleasant words are as an honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.” Choose your words wisely. Let wisdom lead you. Let grace lead your actions. Let mercy guide your decisions. Choose to follow Christ.
