Under Gods Command
Proverbs 10:11 The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life, but violence overwhelms the mouth of the wicked.
Your mouth is an opening to your heart. It is a passageway that lets out what is in your heart. A righteous man has a good and noble heart, and his mouth is a well of life to those around him. He comforts, encourages, and instructs them. A wicked man has an evil heart, and his mouth is covered with violence. He hurts and destroys those around him.
You can know the heart of a man by his speech (10:20). While many like to say, “You do not know my heart,” it is easy to know their hearts by the kind of words that come from their lips. Gentle, gracious, helpful, kind, and modest speech proves a virtuous heart. But caustic, critical, cruel, harsh, negative, and slanderous words prove a depraved heart.
How can you improve your speech? If you talk a lot, then talk less! Make sure your speech is always gracious! Make sure it is always helpful! Learn the words of truth to give certain answers to those asking! And bless and praise the Lord!
