The contrast between evil and goodness is continued in our reading today. The only lasting happiness known to mankind comes from knowing the Lord. All of us should remember that the lips are exercised by words coming forth from the heart. We should carefully examine everything we say.
Time is too short for foolish words.
That same shortness of time should challenge and encourage us to use our tongue and lips to honor and glorify Jesus Christ, and to share with others what He has done in our lives.
