Pro. 15 NLT

The heart of the godly thinks carefully before speaking;
the mouth of the wicked overflows with evil words.

“I talk to hear what I’m thinking.”  That’s what I’ve said before to describe how I process and communicate ideas.  It’s almost as if I do both of those things simultaneously, and can’t do either separately.  But it is highly unwise to speak before thinking.  When speach overflows, wickedness isn’t reined in and has opportunity. My “think first” muscles are lethargic, but as I see this is a proverb commanding one to do so, I will depend on God to restore that ability in me, and work it out.
