63 “Or if anyone swears rashly with his lips…”

 Leviticus 5:4

 We must watch or words and thoughts very carefully to do all that is pleasing to the Lord and not according to ourselves or this world. It is easy to become complacent and allow the cares of life to take us away from the Lord and we begin to entertain wrong thoughts and ideas. Our mind is apt to wander, and we must bring all under the reign of our Saviour King for if we are guarding our minds then our lips will follow suit. We will not speak rashly or without the salt of the Holy Spirit and holiness will be in our words.

 If we search the Scriptures, we will find ample reason to stay close to the Lord for that is the place of peace and pardon. We do not depend on ourselves but on the might and faithfulness of the Lord who will keep us in all circumstances and make us right with Him. We must guard our words carefully and bring all under God’s way.

“Whoever guards his mouth and his tongue keeps his soul from troubles”

 Proverbs 21:23

 Let us ask the Lord to put a guard on our mind that we will be faithful servants and become good at casting out all wrong thoughts and confessing to Him. Let us keep a short account with the Lord and watch out words carefully.

 If we do fail, there is restitution with the Lord and He will abundantly pardon. Let us grasp hold of His mercy and walk with Him though our day.
