This Weeks Scripture
James 3:6-The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole person, sets the whole course of his life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell. (NIV)
Meditation
Out of the mouth can be love or hate, life or death. Why is it possible that out of the mouth we praise our Holy God with, we can tear down a person's spirit? The Bible speaks about the tongue and says that no man can tame it , and that it is unruly, evil and full of poison. What you say to others can have a lasting effect, whether good or bad. If you are speaking truth, it is the delivery that determines the outcome. Today let us speak kind and encouraging words to our brotherman. Let us build each other up and not tear each other down. Don't let your tongue spit fire, let your tongue be a river of flowing water that speaks life. Your tongue lies inside your mouth and at times can be deadly. Our God lives inside of us and He is ALWAYS refreshing and full of blessings.
Prayer
Most Gracious, Heavenly Father give us a heart like Yours. Teach us to speak life and not death, for we know that our words have power. Tame our deadly tongues, and forgive us of our sins willingly and unwillingly. Teach us this day to walk in Your ways, in Jesus name. Amen
How will you begin to use your tongue for uplifting and not down pulling?
Have a blessed week! Qua Sonya D. Johnson
