The words we speak should built the other person in the faith in God: thus edify.
Several years ago, I saw this scripture and began to focus on doing this scripture.
I kept this scripture before me day and night and before I spoke to someone, I evaluated what it was that I was about to speak: If I speak this, will it edify the other person? Will it cause gratitude to God?
During that time I was tested: I had gone to my neighbor's house. It was the year Mrs. Clinton was running for president of USA. Although I am a non-political person, I found myself wanting to say, "And what do you think about the election?"
But I was controlled by Ephesians 4:29 ... Will that edify and bring grace to God if I say that?
The desire to speak that became so strong I finally got up and went home.
I Corinthian 10:13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.
