The Freedom to Speak

​​May the LORD cut off all flattering lips,
​​And the tongue that speaks proud things,
​Who have said,
​​“With our tongue we will prevail;
​​Our lips are our own;
​​Who is lord over us?” Psalm 12:3-4

Like other freedoms we enjoy, David points out the many who will abuse the privilege. In this age we can see that has not changed. There are still many who believe that the freedom to speak is the freedom to abuse others. What must we who believe in Christ do differently than those loose lips?

In Christ Jesus we gain the freedom to speak words of encouragement, comfort, peace, and love. We speak to the Lord words of faith, trust, obedience, and more love. With our speech we can obey the two greatest commandments, fulfill the great commission, and be a part of the Church. We acknowledge and rejoice that there is a lord over us, and He is the LORD!

Peace and love to you on this great day of the Lord,
