“Have you ever been
around someone who complains all the time or speaks negatively about themselves
and others? Isn’t it exhausting? Have you been with the kind of person who you
never knew what horrible thing might come out of their mouth? You can hardly
wait to get away from them.
The Bible says we are
to “do all things without complaining and disputing” (Philippians 2:14). If
we complain, it reflects our lack of faith in God. It proves that we don’t
believe God is in charge and can take care of us. It suggests that we don’t
trust God will answer our prayer. It shows we are not praying. Being around
people with such an obvious lack of faith is depleting.
Imagine if every time we opened our mouths we spoke words
that were laced with healing, edification, encouragement, comfort, wisdom, love
and truth. That’s possible to do if we ask God to help us. It’s dangerous to
speak whatever comes into your mind- unless what comes into your mind is good.
If you have your mind fixed on good things, then the words of your mouth will
reflect that.
1 Peter 3:10
He who would love life and see good days, let
him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips from speaking deceit.
