In our last post, Peter shows us four steps to loving and enjoying life. Let’s look at the first step as we open our bibles to 1 Peter 3:10 “For He who would love life and see good days, Let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips from speaking deceit.”
Notice Peter is commanding us to refrain our tongue from evil. My friend, we are personally responsible to stop our tongue from evil. Many of the problems of life are caused by the wrong words, spoken in the wrong spirit.
Sometimes it is so hard to watch our tongue and the first thing that comes to my mind when I think of this is Psalm 141:3 “Set a guard, O LORD, over my mouth; keep watch over the door of my lips."
With the Lord’s help my friend, we can watch our tongue. We need to pray Psalms 141:3 every day and ask God to help us.
