Proverbs 6: 1-3
My son, if you have put up security for your neighbor, if you have struck hands in pledge for another, if you have been trapped by what you said, ensnared by the words of your mouth, then do this, my son, to free yourself, since you have fallen into your neighbor's hands: Go and humble yourself; press your plea with your neighbor.
If you want to live a victorious life, you must guard your tongue and watch what you agree to. The snare of the wicked and the manipulation of many people, can ensnare the most watchful of Christians. Instead of walking around with suspicion, and looking for a crook under every rock, be ready to say "no", when "no" is right and say "yes" when "yes" is right. Be observant and eager to repent when you fail.
How do we know when a matter is correct or not? The answer lies in the Scripture. If what is said agrees with the Scripture, then it is safe to say "yes". If it does not agree with the Scripture, then say "no" quickly.
Let the words that come from your mouth agree with the Scripture. Meditate on the Word of GOD and you will have the Word in your heart, so that you will not sin. Study the Word, meditate on the Word, memorize the Word and you will speak the Word in season and out of season.
