JAMES 3:7-10
With our speech we can ruin the world and turn harmony to disarray. Indeed “death and life are in the power of the tongue” – Proverbs 18:21.
We always have a choice when we speak. God has given us the 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. We have words that are never released, and words that should never have been released. We have words that build up, and ones that tear down.
We may not be able to perfectly tame our tongues, but we can choose our words. It starts with what we put in our hearts – “For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks” (Matthew 12:34, NKJV).
