Psalm 12:6
The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. 


People are just plain reckless with their words now that we have the internet and all the social media outlets it includes. One Facebook status or 140 character tweet can start a firestorm the Pacific ocean can't put out! This is why it is so important for believers to continually "cleanse" themselves with the Word of God.

Psalm 119:9
Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word.

The only way we can rid ourselves of the words that attach to us each day from others is by taking a plunge into the Word of God. I have this image in mind of myself as a magnet that is just standing with all these words attached to me randomly that I have heard via the phone, text, or read over the course of a day. The negative words are the real "sticky" ones. The idle words just hang on wherever they can. The Word of God will wash away all the negative and idle words but the words that are "sent" by Him will take root in your heart. If you don't take a bath daily in the Word of God those words that are suppose to stay in your heart will be "uprooted" by all the negative and idle words .>>Matthew 13:19-23 

God's words are pure. holy, and true. His word can be trusted. His word has been tried over time and none of it has come up short. We as believers should speak and meditate on His Word so that our days can be filled with peace and joy. It has never failed that any time someone says something negative or offensive to me and I go "immediately" to the word of God I always feel better or God gives me the grace to handle the situation. The flip side of that is when I "immediately" get on the phone, text, or tweet about the negative comment or situation I get more "vexed." 

Since we are in an age where we are more connected with less filters and fact checking we should concentrate more on "letting the words of our mouth and the meditation of our hearts be acceptable in His sight." >>Psalm 19:14 Take a moment to "study" before you answer, text, tweet, FB, or IM. >>Proverbs 15:28 Take inventory of your words because He let's us know that: "But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgement." >>Matthew 12:36
