Election season is upon us in the Unites States of America. What a time it is…filled with emotions and many words, some words being hateful and filled with outright lies or with innuendo. It can get so ugly!
Day and night, we are bombarded with television ads, social media rants and angry disagreements. Debates are being held, slander is rampant.
I am reminded of the scripture at this season and ALL seasons:
Do not be hasty with your mouth [speaking careless words or vows] or impulsive in thought to bring up a matter before God. For God is in heaven and you are on earth; therefore let your words be few. Eccles. 5:2 AMP
I am hearing: let my words be few.
Sure, we can think whatever we want endlessly but let us each be careful about what comes out of our mouth.

Are we a blessing with that mouth of ours?
Do not let unwholesome [foul, profane, worthless, vulgar] words ever come out of your mouth, but only such speech as is good for building up others, according to the need and the occasion, so that it will be a blessing to those who hear [you speak]. Ephesians 4:29 AMP
Can we abide by that admonishment?
Also:
A man has joy in giving an appropriate answer, And how good and delightful is a word spoken at the right moment. Prov. 15:23 AMP
Let’s bring joy to others and to GOD who created our mouths, minds and hearts!
Rant done. I hope it was a blessing!
