Tongue

Daily Vitamin

Tongue — “We use our tongue to praise God our Father and then turn around and curse a person who was made in His very image! Out of the same mouth we pour out words of praise one minute and curses the next. My brothers and sisters, this should never be! Would you look for olives hanging on a fig tree or go to pick figs from a grapevine? Is it possible that fresh and bitter water can flow out of the same spring? So neither can a bitter spring produce fresh water.” (James 3:9-12, The Passion Translation)

James also tells us that the tongue is hard to tame. With our words we should bless others, not curse them — just like we want others to praise rather than curse us. It might be hard to tame our words and thoughts, but it can be done! The first step is to listen more than we speak. Then we can curb our speech and answer with wisdom.

If your tongue won’t obey, bite it!  Then it will think twice before speaking out of turn!

Be a Blessing, Sir Gregory
