A controlled woman is recognized by her sound speech. She understands that there is tremendous power in what she says. There is self control when it comes to speaking to others. Because of this, she guards her soul from trouble in this life. Which of these references best describes you?
prov 25:15 a gentle tongue
prov. 25:23 a backbiting tongue
prov. 6:17, 26:28 a lying tongue
prov. 6:24, 26:28 a flattering tongue

What kind of speech would characterize your life? Do you seek God's grace to control what you say? Are you speaking gentle words of kindness and grace, giving life to those who hear?
Ephesians 4:29 Let no unwholesome word proceed from your mouth, but only such a word as is good for edification according to the need of the moment, that it may give grace to those who hear.
