For let him who wants to enjoy life and see good days [good — whether apparent or not] keep his tongue free from evil and his lips from guile (treachery, deceit). — 1 Peter 3:10 (AMPC)

Be Slow to Speak by Joyce Meyer

Have you ever regretted something you said as soon as the words were out of your mouth? You can't take back the words you speak to others—and words can damage relationships. The Bible says that if you can control your mouth, you can control your whole body (see James 3:2).

Before you respond to people too quickly, stop and listen to what the Holy Spirit has to say about your situation. James taught, Let every man be quick to hear [a ready listener], slow to speak, slow to take offense and to get angry (James 1:19 AMPC). Commit your mouth to God’s service today and use words that speak healing to others. When you do, you will begin to see an increase in your overall joy.

Prayer Starter: God, thank You for your Word and for all the ways that You give me peace and help me fight the devil. Amen.
