3 Those who guard their lips preserve their lives,
but those who speak rashly will come to ruin.
One of the over-arching themes in Proverbs is seeing the blessing behind living a disciplined life. We will all want to pop off when someone does us wrong. The mature believer isn't exempt form this, but will be disciplined enough to refrain. For me it's not so much what I say as the tone I take as soon as I feel unfairly treated. This is one of the hardest areas of discipline to conquer. I pray that this study will help us to get there!
