The Tongue

Lady of Light

In James 3:6 states:

"And the tongue is a fire, a world of inquity: so is the tongue among our members that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell."

James is warning us about the fact that the tongue causes all kinds of evil. Think about how we can use our tongues. To eat (or overeat) to drink, and to speak. I am certain we have all had the experience of saying something that we wish we hadn't said.

Verse 3:8 tells us:

"But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison."

But when we pray and ask for God's spirit to take over our speech, we can sing beautiful praises to God and encourage one another.

Perhaps we all ought to think about how we use or misuse the tongue. Pray and ask God to control it. Granted, this way we will have an easier time of it when speaking with others.

God bless you and have a great day!
