that I may not sin with my tongue;
I will keep a muzzle on my mouth
as long as the wicked are in my presence.”
David is under attack, but he sits and waits quietly. He is impatient with God. He doesn't give up, though. He cries and asks for forgiveness.
This speaks to yesterday's post. I am discouraged about my friends repeating my comments about a co-worker to him. I have confessed my sin, but I will consider the people who love drama more than they desire to protect me. I am not dissimilar, and I prove that time and again. I talk to get a desired reaction, and I don't consider the effects of my words.
Prayer: Lord, help me to hear Your voice before I put my foot in my mouth again. I need to consider the ripple effect my words will have before speaking in anger. Forgive my transgressions and guide me to more loving kindness in the future.
Amen
