'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🌹🌹

 Devotional 'The Lord is their strength, and he is the saving strength of his anointed' (Psalm 28:8). The Lord our God is the glory of our strength, and in His name we shall rejoice all the day. The Lord is our strength, and the saving strength of His anointed. It is through Christ our anointed that all our blessings come to us. Here we see David, who is a type of our Lord Jesus, praising God. What about you? Christ had done much for us and has achieved full salvation for us, therefore, praise Him! We, like Israel are encouraged that the Lord is our Strength and salvation. When we seek to be in a  relationship with God, He will protect us from our enemies and save us from the crutches of Satan. Just as how Satan attempts to destroy Christ many times, whilst he was on earth, God  saved him and will do the same for us. Christ died to save us all, but it is those who trust Him and have a saving relationship with him that will spend eternity with. He is our High Priest, and J...

 'I protest by your rejoicing  which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily' (1 Corinthians 15:31). Christ our Lord came and died for each and everyone to save us from the bondage of sin. He lived on this earth, ministered to the needs of all who He encountered; He was crucified, and resurrected and is now interceding for us, as our High Priest in Heaven. What if there was no resurrection? What would be the implications for God's people? The preaching of the gospel would be a lie, our faith would be worthless and we would all have remained in our sin. Paul is saying, there would be no cause to his dying daily, or for any one who believed and accept Jesus as their personal Saviour to die daily. Paul was expecting death at any time for Christ's sake. He was constantly in peril of his life, he encountered extreme sufferings and was beset with death. He was willing to die at anytime and in any way for Christ's sake. He did not count his life dear unto himself, but...

 'The Lord thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing' (Zephaniah 3 17). What an amazing and wonderful God we serve, who is mighty to save. The Lord our God is with us and is mighty to save. He will take great delight in us and will quiet us with his love, and also rejoice over us with singing. We didn't have to do anything for God to love us, he did because he created us and we are His. He created us and loves us just as we are. Even when we did not deserve it, the Lord took delight in us. What an awesome God! He is present in the midst of us, loving and caring for us. He protects and defend us; died to save us from sin, so we can have life and have it more abundant. He is mighty to save us from fears; our enemies and the bondage of sin and death. We all need a Saviour, Christ the Lord, who is the cure for our problems and the antidote to sin. Christ has already won ...
