You give your mouth to evil, and your tongue frames deceit – Psalm 50:19
Do you say what you feel? Are you given to telling it like it is? While these are not necessarily bad, there is a better way. We should always look to speak the truth! Since the truth can only come from the Spirit of Truth, this means we should only speak as directed by the Holy Spirit. So, while we may be tempted to say what is true, we should only seek to say what is the truth. The truth is what sets free. When we speak the truth, the truth with which our words are seasoned sets people free! This is when our words become a powerful force for good. Now while it is aspirational to always speak the truth, the reality is that we are not always in tune with the direction and words of the Spirit. In these times, we are better served holding our tongue rather than give our mouth to evil and deceit. In these times, it is best to heed the words of Ronan Keating: You say it best when you say nothing at all.
I will only give my mouth to good, and my tongue will only frame the truth
