One of the most unique things about Pokémon is the way that each of them communicates with others. Excluding some rare exceptions, most Pokémon’s vocabulary is limited to using syllabic variations of their names… for example, a Pikachu can only say Pi, Pik, Pika, Chu, Kachu or Pikachu when speaking with others. But this may actually be a blessing in disguise, because if all of the Pokémon ran their mouth as much as Meowth from Team Rocket does, they may not be quite as beloved as they are now. When it comes to dialogue options, sometimes less is more. Despite this seeming restriction to their vocalizations, Pikachu and the rest of the Pokémon still manage to get the right message across every single time.

While the words of our testimony and the prayers we speak are some of our most powerful tools to tear down enemy strongholds and share the love of Christ with others, our tongues are also often the source of most of our problems. We say words we wish we could take back, overcommit ourselves to more than we can handle, and share things that we shouldn’t have. Being a follower of Christ is both a gift and a responsibility, and as His earthly ambassadors we are speaking on His behalf at all times. Let’s run every word we are about to say or share through His filter today… few words tends to beat many, and sometimes the best option is for us to say nothing at all.

In the multitude of words sin is not lacking, but he who restrains his lips is wise. Proverbs 10:19

Do not be rash with your mouth, and let not your heart utter anything hastily before God. For God is in heaven, and you on earth; therefore let your words be few. Ecclesiastes 5:2

But I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment. For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned. Matthew 12:36-37
