“…the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity…no man can tame the tongue. It is an unruly evil, FULL OF DEADLY POISON. Out of the same mouth proceed blessing and cursing. With it we bless our God and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in the similitude of God. My brethren, these things ought not to be so.” (James 3:6,8,9-10) “Death and life are in the power of the tongue…” (Pro. 18:21) We always have a choice when we speak. God has given us the incredible freedom to choose our words. Some words bring darkness and despair, and are rooted in fear. Some words bring light and hope, and are ROOTED IN LOVE.
“Whoever guards his mouth and tongue KEEPS HIS SOUL FROM TROUBLES.” (Pro. 21:23)
I ask you Lord guard my mouth, my prayer is, “SET A GUARD, O LORD, over my mouth; KEEP WATCH OVER THE DOOR OF MY LIPS…” (Psalms 141:3)
