“And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity. The tongue is so set among our members that it defiles the whole body, and sets on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire by hell.” James 3.6
To play with the tongue is to play with fire.
The good or evil that it speaks actually happens. You need to have the mind of
the Lord Jesus not to speak foolish and poisonous things. The power of the
tongue is so great that the Holy Spirit teaches us that if anyone wants to love their
life and see happy days, they must control their tongue not to speak evil
things, especially of people.
I was just thinking about how many times I have said something that wasn't necessary or something that was not profitable at all. Truly our tongue can be a snare for us, it is so strange how we can praise with our tongue and the next day we can bad mouth someone with it again. Thank you Mrs Esther, I don't normally read you blog. But it is a blessing because its simply the Word of God being explained in a simple and straight forward way.

This is very strong!
ReplyDeleteI remember that many times i was using my tongue with not good things or can't glorify God by it!It was a great Blessing that now i learned how to control it..because it can also be a reason or can lead us to hell if we do not control it by ourselves and the help of the Holy Spirit inside of us!
thank u Mrs Ester!
