My friend Paul wrote an exhortation that you and all of My beloved need to put into practice. He wrote, "Whatever things are honest, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things."
Solomon wrote, "As a man thinks in his heart so is he." Jesus said that what we say originates from our heart. Ask me today if what you are thinking meets Paul's criteria.
Before you speak, I want you to also ask yourself, "Is what I am about to say honest, just, pure, lovely, of good report, virtuous, or praise worthy. If the words that you have in your mind to express with your mouth do not pass this test, do not say those words.
PHILIPPIANS 4:8; PROVERBS 23:7; LUKE 6:45
