There is power in the heart that seeks to be humble. The humble heart will always be yielding to see that which is right in the eyes of God. The humble heart does not seek to verbalize it’s opinion but rather at seeks what God has to say about every matter. The Psalmist David in Psalm 131:1 prays to his God with a humble heart…
“O Eternal One, my heart is not occupied with proud thoughts; my eyes do not look down on others; I don’t even begin to get involved in matters too big, matters of faith, state, business, or the many things that defy my ability to understand them .”

Psalm 131:1 -the Voice translation
We must recognize the things that provoke us to think about things that we have no business thinking about. You know… the things that set our mind spinning, and therefore our opinions begin to come out of our mouth. Living our life prayerfully will keep us clear minded and our hearts guarded.As we seek Him for His guidance and provision, He promises to cover our life with all that we need. That includes the wisdom in guarding our thoughts, opinions, and it provides us power over thoughts that would serve to take us down. He will give us that peace that this world cannot touch, and that peace will lead our thoughts and guard our our tongues.
