📖 “You are snared with the words of your lips, you are caught by the speech of your mouth” -Proverbs 6:2 Amplified Bible Classic Edition
Many times, we are where we are because of the words of our mouths. In context, the verse is talking about giving a pledge or your word to do something or pay something for someone else. The verse tells us that when you do that, your own lips have gotten you in trouble. Your words have put you in a place you may later regret. The principle is still true. Your words can take you to a place where you did not want to be. Your words created boundaries in your life. Your words can take you down the wrong path. You are snared by the words of your lips. We must be careful when we give our word to people. We must be wise when we agree to cosign for someone else. We must not allow ourselves to be snared by our words or caught by the speech of our mouths. We must choose our words carefully.
