Set a guard over my mouth, O Lord; keep watch over the door of my lips. Psalm 141:3
That's one of the verses I read this morning...it's one I am trying to remember throughout the day. I heard a sermon the other day (on Walk in the Word) and learned that when Scripture talks about us grieving the Holy Spirit, it is often linked with our words. (See Ephesians 4 for one example.) Is God trying to tell me something? Maybe I just need to be quiet today and speak only what is absolutely necessary or only when I am going to say something edifying. Otherwise, I am praying that God will truly set that guard over my mouth. I think my mouth could use a guard.
