Do you ever read a verse that smacks you right between the eyes, or in this case, smacks you on the mouth? Psalm 141:3 did that to me today, Set a guard over my mouth, O Lord; keep watch over the door of my lips. This is the strongest part of my body. It has the ability to lift people up or to tear them down. In one of the notes in my Bible it says on average a normal person opens up their mouth 700 times per day (for my 15 year old daughter this number could easily be double). When David wrote this Psalm he was very wise to ask God to help keep him from speaking evil. I would do well to ask God to guard my mouth as well.
