My mouth speaks what is true, for my lips detest wickedness. All the words of my mouth are just; none of them is crooked or perverse. Proverbs 8:7-8
Although these words describe God's wisdom, they should also be the result of God's wisdom working it's way into a believer's life. As much as we might hate to admit it, our language is an accurate thermometer of our spiritual temperature. When my language is course, crooked and perverse it is a tell-tale sign that my walk with the Lord has wavered. On the other hand, as I grow in my relationship with the Lord, become more like Christ, and gain His wisdom, my words will be true and just.
Today I will listen to myself in order to take my own spiritual temperature.
