Concerning the Mouth

"Open wide your mouth and I will fill it."
Psalm 81:10b

" Whenever you are arrested and brought to trial, do not worry beforehand about what to say. Just say whatever is given you at the time, for it is not you speaking, but the Holy Spirit."
Mark 13:11 

We are very concerned about our mouths. It is the mouth that takes in food for our bodies. It is the mouth that tastes that food and judges whether it is good or bad. The mouth takes in water to sustain us. With our mouths, we speak. The Bible tells us that we can speak blessing or curses. We can speak helpful things or hurtful things. All this happens because we were created with mouths. But God has promised that he will take care of our mouths if we allow him to do it. All we need, and all we say can be orchestrated by God. 
    God has promised many times in his Word that he will care for us. From the beginning of time, God has provided food for people and animals. We who are blessed by God know that he will provide for our sustenance. Sometimes it may be plenty and sometimes it may be meager, but he cares for us and provides for his children. I do not understand why there are starving people in the world. None of us will ever understand this. But we who belong to God will be taken care of as surely as God has promised. 
    God will give us words to speak when we don't know what we ought to say. Because the Holy Spirit lives in us, we need never fear. No matter the circumstance, no matter what situation we find ourselves in, he will put the words in our mouths. All we need do is open our mouths and God will fill it with the right words. Most of us have not had to face situations where our lives literally depended on the words we speak. Many have, and some have lost their lives. But what counts is what God gives us to say. There are days coming when we must be faithful to allow the Holy Spirit to speak through us. For only he will know exactly what should be said. With him, there is no confusion. What he says through us will be perfect.
    I think it's time to practice what we believe. If we know that God will care for us and feed us, let's believe it by faith and start walking in the freedom that comes along with that truth. We should stop worrying and start believing. Whether the jobs we have are good or bad, God will provide. He is our Helper and our Provider. When we speak to others, we can practice allowing the Holy Spirit to speak through us. We must put aside our own ideas and judgements in favor of his all knowing wisdom. We spend a lot of time worrying about our mouths. If we surrender them to God, he will take care of it. The point is this: Transfer control of your mouth from yourself to God. Only he can truly fill it with the words and blessings of heaven.
