Be careful what you do and say!!
Psalm 1:1-3
Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly nor standeth in the way of sinners nor sittest in the the seat of scoffers…

The passage above says it is good, profitable or exceedingly rewarding (blessed) to stay away from all things that has any appearance of evil.
Why?

Because God hates sin. What is sin? Sin is being disobedient to God’s commands stated in His word. Sin can also be defined as refusing to do what is right according to God’s word.

Therefore, it is important that we are cautious about what we do and say.

Hebrews 12:1-2 says

We (christians) are encompassed about ( surrounded) so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight and sin that clings so closely and run with endurance the race set before us. Looking to Jesus the author and perfect or of our faith….

The world is watching us closely for direction through our lifestyles on how to get to God. We cannot and must not mislead them.

James 3:10
……for with the same mouth you can bless and curse. This ought not be so. ( paraphrased)

This verse from the new testament emphasizes that words are very important. Therefore, we have to be cautious about what we say.

We cannot bless ( speak positively in favor of) and curse( threaten) with the same mouth. Our words should give comfort, hope and strength to others.
God be with you

How can I apply the word to my life?
1. Learn to speak positively about every situation.

Prayer
Meditate on the words of this song ( It is a Sunday School song)

Be careful little mouth
What you say
Be careful little mouth
What you say
There is a Saviour up above
And He’s looking down in love
So be careful little mouth
What you say

Be careful little eyes
What you see
Be careful little eyes
What you see
There is a Saviour up above
And He’s looking down in love
So be careful little eyes
What you see

Be careful little hands
What you do
Be careful little hands
What you do
There is a Saviour up above
And He’s looking down in love
So be careful little hands
What you do.
Amen
