Have you ever been in a situation where you opened your mouth when maybe you should have bit your tongue instead? James says if you can tame your tongue you can bridle your whole body. This might be impossible this side of heaven, but there is a prayer in Psalm 39 to help us hold our tongues and walk in wisdom especially in the hight of our emotions.

This podcast episode is so practical for our marriages, parenting, and relationships with other people. It will help us remember to be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry.

“Perhaps he feared that if he began to talk at all, he would be sure to speak amiss, and, therefore, he totally abstained. It was an easy, safe, and effectual way of avoiding sin, if it did not involve a neglect of the duty which he owed to God to speak well of his name.” (Spurgeon)

"Lord, make us to consider this, that we may secure mansions in the house not made with hands." Matthew Henry

"Watchfulness and resolution, in the strength of God's grace, will do more towards the bridling of the tongue than we can imagine, though it be an unruly evil." Matthew Henry 

When we are vexed and troubled and our emotions are mounting up, it is a good and wise thing for us to hit the pause button by asking the Lord to remind us of our brevity - that like Psalm 90 says, "teach us to number our days aright, that we may gain a heart of wisdom."
