'Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue keepeth his soul from troubles' (Proverbs 21:23).

With our mouth we give praise and with the same we curse. In the Bible there are so many warnings regarding our mouth and tongue that we should take heed. King David recognised the evil that comes through unkind and evil speech. He said, 'I will watch what I do and say; I will set a guard over my tongue and muzzle my mouth so I do not sin' (Psalm 141:3). We too must be careful what we say and do. We must keep our tongue from speaking evil and our lips from telling lies, so we can enjoy life and see happy days. It is important for us to guard our mouth and tongue. We must set our heart to look to Jesus, as we pour out our soul to Him; seeking His guidance in all that we say and do. At times we speak hastily without thinking or due consideration for others which comes with dire consequences. King Solomon admonishes us that, whoever watches his mouth and his tongue, keep himself from trouble. How can you keep yourself from trouble? By hating the things God hates. Jesus hates name calling, lying, complaining, talking negatively about others; filthy talking, foolish talking and jesting. Our soul is in trouble when we seek to do these things. So to prevent it, you need to guard your mouth and tongue and enjoy the good life God has in store for you. When you know God and is connected to Him, allowing the leading of the Holy Spirit, you will be careful in your speech. You will speak the truth in love and with grace; seek to guard your lips and speak words of wisdom and truth that will bring honour to God. Today, keep your tongue from evil, and your lips from speaking guile (Psalm 34:13). Keep your soul from trouble!

Have a wonderful day🌹🌹

 'But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you' (Matthew 6:33). The Lord is our Provider and knows all that we are in need of before we even ask. We do not need to worry or fret ourselves about what we shall eat or drink. Our Father in heaven will take care of these things we need. We are told by Jesus, 'To seek first the kingdom of God.' What does that mean? It means we should lean on, and trust in the grace of Jesus Christ. We should repent of our sins and have a desire to turn away from it. We should seek to put God first in our praise to Him, in our worship of Him, to put our total trust in Him and to rely on Him  rather than ourselves or others. We need to seek Him first in our reassurance and acknowledging who He is and what He can do. We also need to seek God's righteousness by  loving our neighbors and feeding the poor and destitute, seek justice for the vulnerable. We should put God's plan and

 'I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you' (John 14:18). Jesus is awesome and full of compassion. He loved his disciples and wanted them to understand about His death and resurrection; that He would be going away for a while. He knew they would be confused and devastated, so he hastened to comfort them. He said, 'Let not your heart be troubled: Ye believe in God, believe also in me...I go to prepare a place for you...I will come again and receive you unto myself, that where I am there ye may be also' (John 14:1-3). He also promised another Comforter, that he can abide with them forever. What a merciful and loving Saviour! He went further to say he would not leave them comfortless; but will come to them. He was like a father to them, as He and the Father are one. Therefore, He promised not to leave them fatherless, or as an orphan. But will come to them. Speaking of His death and resurrection He said that in a little while the world would not see him no more

 'Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still' (Psalm 4:4). God knows everything about us, because he is God, our Creator and there is nothing that can be hidden from him. He knows the heart and the intents of the heart; Our thoughts, emotions, desires and motives, whether they be good or evil. He knows the godly from the ungodly, and have set apart those who are godly for himself, and will hear when they call unto him (verse 3). We are all called to be in a right relationship with God. Those who accept this call should have daily communion with Him through the study of His Word, prayer and supplications, allowing the Holy Spirit access in their hearts, that they might not wilfully sin against Him. We need to search our hearts daily and be silent before God as we contemplate his grace and his mercy towards us, and He will reveal Himself to us. When our enemies seek to do us harm, or people speak lies about us, simply look to Jesus and trus
