“WARNING!”

At the Beach

At the Beach

“WARNING!

MOUTH OPERATES

FASTER THAN

BRAIN”

That is a serious warning for me.

I am not quite sure now if I have seen someone wearing a shirt with that warning, but I am looking now at a picture where someone is wearing a shirt with those words.

Why do I pay attention?

Because the Bible says in Ecclesiastes 5:2:

“Do not be quick with your mouth, …”

And in Proverbs 13:3 we are told:

“He who guards his lips guards his soul, but he who speaks rashly will come to ruin.” To speak rashly means of course to speak without due thought.

I hope this is also a serious warning for you.

Proverbs 10:19 says that wise people hold their tongues.

If we don’t want to come to ruin we hold our tongues.
