Increasing Joy With Our Words

Today's devotional is filled with powerful words about what comes out of my mouth - "Words have such great power to bless or wound." I know without a doubt that this is true - but I will admit that I often forget - especially if I'm rushed or anxious. The scriptural guidance given in this reading is clear and doable: "Be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry." 

Today's scripture in Ephesians 4:29 is also compelling! I realize that my words are certainly not ones that I use for "building others up." I ask for God's help to think and pray before I speak.
