Words in Your Mouth

By Linda Tancs

We often admonish others not to put words in our mouth, meaning that someone is falsely claiming that we said something we did not or distorting our words to make them appear to mean something different. Indeed, why rely on anyone other than God and His words. That’s what Jeremiah did when God called him to be a prophet to the nations. God put His words in Jeremiah’s mouth to accomplish His mission (Jeremiah 1:7-9). Let God be the only One putting words in your mouth.
