True or ...

"Set a guard over my mouth, O Lord; keep watch over the door of my lips. Let not my heart be drawn to what is evil, to take part in wicked deeds with men who are evildoers; let me not eat of their delicacies." Psalm 141:3-4

Armed guards and No Access Allowed signs seem to accompany celebrities, high-ranking government officials and professional athletes in order to ensure their safety. But did you know that we need that same type of protection for our mouths?

Saying we have faith in Jesus is a step in the right direction, but true power comes when you’re able to put substance behind those words. When you become a follower of Christ, God calls you to display an authentic faith. And one of the ways you do that is by guarding the words that come out of your mouth.

In the above passage, King David asks God to put a guard over his mouth because he knew that the words he spoke did more than just communicate what was on his mind. The words we choose communicate the truth about our faith in God.
