The Good LifeSample

Have you ever had to guard something? Whether you’re guarding a base, guarding a goal, or protecting your breakfast from the family pet, guarding something requires you to pay attention. You have to watch what is happening in order to make sure nothing happens to the thing you’re protecting. In the same way you guard and protect things in your life, God calls us to guard and protect our words. We have to pay attention to what comes out of our mouths and guard the words we say to make sure they’re the kinds of words that build up rather than tear down. As you go through your day, pray that God would help you guard and watch over your words.
