Proverbs 13:3 says "' Whoever guards his mouth preserves his life; he who opens wide his lips comes to ruin." Some studies suggest we can speak an average of 16,000 words per day. If that is even remotely true, imagine how much life we are missing out on because of the rash, dumb, sinful things we say without thinking. This chapter has such an awesome takeaway that should get us in the right mindset to speak well and guard our mouths when needed.
