James
3:5
"So also the tongue is a
small member, yet it boasts of great things. How great a forest is set ablaze by
such a small fire!" ESV
Isn't it amazing that the
tongue is small and rests hidden inside the mouth? If the size of the tongue and
the place it rests were equal to its power, it would be the largest part of the
body. It would be the first and maybe only part of us others would see. The
tongue is incredibly powerful. It carries out of us the things we are thinking,
intending, and believing. It can encourage and lift up or it can tear down and
destroy. But....praise be to the Lord that He has given us the ability and the
choice to control it.
Heavenly Father, forgive us for
choosing to let our tongues speak things that are not pleasing to You and that
are hurtful to those around us. Forgive us for allowing our tongues to be our
sword instead of the sword of the Spirit, Your Word. Help us to use wisdom,
discernment, and patience before we speak so that our words will be pleasing to
You. We pray in Jesus' name, Amen.
