The Words We Speak

If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, the holy of the LORD, honourable; and shalt honour him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words: Isaiah 58:13

“The fourth commandment is virtually transgressed by conversing upon worldly things or by engaging in light and trifling conversation. Talking upon anything or everything which may come into the mind is speaking our own words.”

—Counsels for the Church, p. 263

Sabbath Tip
The words we speak are powerful. They can lift us up or bring us low. They can help or hurt. Being careless with our words can even distract us from our relationship with God on the Sabbath. Ask the Lord to help you become aware of your words during those sacred 24 hours and use them to uplift others.
