What is that in your mouth?

Have you ever said that to your child?  If you have raised children the answer is YES!  A thousand times a day possibly.  Everything a baby picks up goes straight to their mouths.  It doesn't matter if it is food, toys, dirt, dog food - it all goes straight to the mouth.  As a parent, it is our job to watch over them and teach them the proper things to put in their mouth.

When Rebekah moved to California she stayed with some friends who have a dog.  You, of course, know what she found Brody eating?  Dog food!  He cried when she took it away from him.  After they moved into their new townhouse she found him in the bathroom eating toilet paper. 

Well, as you know, we need fiber, but I don't think this is what the experts mean!  So, as parents we have to teach and train our children.

God is our Heavenly Father and He is saying the same thing to us.  What is that in your mouth?  The Bible is God's instructions to us as His children.  He teaches and trains us in what to put in our mouth.  In case you are not sure about that, just read through Psalms and Proverbs.  God tells us repeatedly what to put in our mouths.

When things happen, such as the scare with the bacteria in the cantalope, what do you say?  Are you going around talking about how you hope you didn't get any bad cantalope?  Or are you quoting Psalm 91:10?  No evil shall befall me and no plague shall come near me!  Unless you are a baby, you should know by now what to put in your mouth.  So, my question today is "What is that in your mouth?"
