Today’s Scripture

“For the pure and shining one. A song of praising, by King David. Here’s my life motto, the truth I live by: I will guard my ways for all my days. I will speak only what is right, guarding what I speak. Like a watchman guards against an attack of the enemy, I’ll guard and muzzle my mouth when the wicked are around me. I will remain silent and will not grumble or speak out of my disappointment. But the longer I’m silent the more my pain grows worse!  My heart burned with a fire within me, and my thoughts eventually boiled over until they finally came rolling out of my mouth. “Lord, help me to know how fleeting my time on earth is. Help me to know how limited is my life and that I’m only here but for a moment more."

—Psalm 39:1-3 (TPT)

Today’s Thought

Your words are powerful and are shaping your future. Remember to guard the words of your mouth and be silent in some situations. But in others, speak only what the Word of God says and stand in victory.

Today’s Confession

God, set a guard over my mouth. Let my words agree with Your Word and shape the future You’ve prepared for me. Teach me when to stay silent and when to boldly declare truth with faith and authority.
