Proverbs 18:7 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!

When God Says…

“A fool’s mouth is his destruction, And his lips are the snare of his soul.” (Proverbs 18:7 NKJV)

He gives another warning to guard our speech at all cost. Unrestrained, it leads to trouble. We are to behave like we should as a true child of the Most High God in Christ Jesus. We are to function and speak like an envoy of Christ Jesus in this world, as we are, having been reborn in spirit when we receive His Lordship.

Our declarations are powerful. Hence, we should not mimic a fool ensnared by the blabber of his lips. A fool’s mouth is his destruction, indeed. There's no room for foolishness in the words that come from our mouth. For a fool, who rejects God and His Words, there is an untamable creature in that cave called mouth. The Scriptures said - “but no human being can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.” (James 3:8 ESV)

Our mouth holds the fate of our soul. Lord Jesus warned: “But I tell you that everyone will have to give account on the day of judgment for every empty word they have spoken. For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned.” (Matthew 12:36-37 NIV)

As the redeemed of the Lord Christ Jesus by our faith in Him, apostle Peter exhorts us with these words: “For whoever desires to love life and see good days, let him keep his tongue from evil and his lips from speaking deceit; let him turn away from evil and do good; let him seek peace and pursue it. For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and his ears are open to their prayer. But the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.” (1 Peter 3:10-12 ESV)

And I say, AMEN!
