EMPOWERING LIVES WITH PURPOSE:
I once heard the phrase;
“Words when spoken are like feathers: They are easily scattered but not so easily gathered.”
Are you guarding your tongue in your day to day behavior? Our speech has also been compared to an arrow: “Once the words are released, they cannot be recalled, and the harm they do, cannot be stopped or predicted. Words are like arrows, they go astray.”
We don’t need to speak a whole lot of words when we speak truth.
We can often make a scar with our words, that’s deeper then silence can ever heal. Guard your tongues. The Bible instructs us to do so.
“If anyone among you things, who is religious, and does not bridle his tongue, but deceives his own heart, this person’s religion is worthless.” (James 1:26)
May our tongues be bridled as Christ followers.
I very much dislike when people say something that is hurtful and say they “were only kidding” or “I really didn’t mean it.” I think to myself, then why in the world did you say it? The Bible labels that type of person a fool. One may think they are joking but when pain and insult is inflicted on another, it hurts and we are not honoring God with our tongues.
Please speak your words in kindness today and remember how far God will take them into the hearts of others. The tongue of a man and of a woman needs to always be in check and God’s Word has much to say about the tongue.
“And the tongue is a fire, a world of unrighteousness. The tongue is set among our members, staining the whole body, setting on fire the entire course of life, and set on fire by hell.” (James 3:6)
“But no human being can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.”(James 3:8)
Please keep your tongue in check at ALL times. Let your words be a “reflection” of “Who” resides in you on the inside. God’s kingdom is counting on you.
Matthew 12:37 is a great scripture if you are able to look it up. We will all face all of our words one day. Use them wisely sweet women of God. ❤️
