Well, I did it again. Said something without thinking first. Sigh. It's an issue I've been struggling with for what seems like forever.
I've memorized the Scriptures:
Set a guard, O Lord, over my mouth; keep watch over the door of my lips. Psalm 141:3.
So too, though the tongue is a small part of the body, it boasts great things. Consider how large a forest a small fire ignites. James 3:5
Still I have often hurt people by what I say without meaning to and accidentally said more than I should have about things that had no business being said. I've set many a fire with the spark of a misspoken word! All my regrets and apologies can't fix everything. I pray God can eventually help we control my mouth.
