We talk with our lips. We talk to people, the people in front of us, the people behind us, the people on the phone, the people in our family, to friends, to strangers, we even talk to our enemies.
We project our feelings with our lips; we even reveal our minds and what we think of ourselves.
And with our lips we also lie to ourselves, to the rest of the world, and create conflict.
But it is our daily lives that scream out our character, our goals, and our God – or our gods. Therefore remember:
make it your ambition to lead a quiet life and attend to your own business and work with your hands, (1 Thessalonians 4:1)
I (the Lord) deal with each person according to how he has behaved. I give them what they deserve based on what they have done. (Jeremiah 17:10 NET)
