| Words |
| I remember staying in a home one time and seeing this motto hanging on the bedroom wall: |
| O Lord, help me to keep my words tender and sweet today! |
| Because tomorrow I may have to eat them! |
| It made me think of two verses of Scripture, one written by David in the Old Testament, and the other by the Apostle Paul in the New Testament: |
| “Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in Thy sight, O Lord” (Psalm19:14). |
| “Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man” (Colossians 4:6). |
| Yes, often we have to “eat our words” and sometimes it is a big, bitter mouthful to swallow. |
