The human mind can gather and process thoughts, ideas and sentences much more quickly than the mouth can speak them. That fact should tell us that we have the ability to control our mouths with our minds.

Control of the mind is another matter. That comes with the development of character and that should start even before we learn to speak. Not all children are so blessed, but even with some lack in that area, we may as adults develop these skills. What a tremendous blessing it is to be able to make choices.

"The heart of the righteous studies how to answer," says Proverbs 15:28. Studying is an act that should last a lifetime. But that is a choice each person has to make. Choose to make your life better—think before your speak.
