Daily Devotional - Conversation

Listen to "Daily Devotional - Conversation" on Spreaker.

Hello my beloveds,

Here's today's scriptures that go along with the topic of conversation - the power we have with the words we say. Hope today's devotional will give you something to think about and pray about. Perhaps change something in you that has been stirring deeply within you.  God bless you all~

When words are many, sin is not absent, but he who holds his tongue is wise.   ~Proverbs 10:19

"A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good things, and an evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth evil things. But I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment. For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.     ~Matthew 12:35-37

Do not speak evil of one another, brethren. He who speaks evil of a brother and judges his brother, speaks evil of the law and judges the law. But if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law but a judge.    ~James 4:11

A many has joy in an apt answer, and how delightful is a timely word!    ~Proverbs 15:23

For the Scriptures say, "If you want a happy life and good days, keep your tongue from speaking evil, and keep your lips from telling lies."    ~1 Peter 3:10

Let your speech always be with grace, as though seasoned with salt, so that you will know how you should respond to each person.   ~Colossians 4:6

If anyone thinks himself to be religious, and yet does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this man's religion is worthless.   ~James 1:26     
(I see so much of this on social media.  Praying for that to change for those who do this.)

Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers.     ~Ephesians 4:29

"When they bring you before the synagogues and the rulers and the authorities, do not worry about how or what you are to speak in your defense, or what you are to say; for the Holy Spirit will teach you in the very hour what you ought to say."   ~Luke 12:11-12

Set a watch, O Lord, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips.   ~Psalm 141:3

I said, "I will watch my ways and keep my tongue from sin; I will put a muzzle on my mouth as long as the wicked are in my presence."    ~Psalm 39:1

For we all stumble in many ways, If anyone does not stumble in what he says, he is a perfect man, able to bridle the whole body as well. Now if we put the bits into the horses' mouths so that they will obey us, we direct their entire body as well. Look at the ships also, though they are so great and are driven by strong winds, are still directed by the very small rudder wherever the inclination of the pilot desires. So also the tongue is a small part of the body, and yet it boasts of great things. See how great a forest is set aflame by such a small fire! And the tongue is a fire, the very world of iniquity, the tongue is set among our members as that which defiles the entire body, and sets on fire the course of our life, and is set on fire by hell. For every species of beasts and birds, of reptiles and creatures of the sea, is tamed and has been tamed by the human race. But no one can tame the tongue; it is a restless evil and full of deadly poison. With it we bless our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in the likeness of God; from the same mouth come both blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not to be this way.      ~James 3:2-10
(WOW - STRAIGHT TO THE HEART OF THE DEVOTIONAL)

He who strains his words has knowledge, and he who has a cool spirit is a man of understanding. 
~Proverbs 17:27

He who guards his mouth and his tongue keeps himself from calamity.   ~Proverbs 21:23

A fool vents all his feelings, but a wise many holds them back.   ~Proverbs 29:11

Do you see a man hasty in his words? There is more hope for a fool than for him.   ~Proverbs 29:20
