Did you know that your words are very powerful, and that they matter? Time and time again the Scriptures address the tongue. James devotes an entire chapter to controlling the tongue. When we consider the words of Jesus in Matthew 12:34 we see why the tongue is given such extensive treatment. How we handle the tongue is a great indicator of our hearts before God.
This week’s study was inspired by Proverbs 12:18 (Journey Through The Bible In A Year), which states; “The words of the reckless pierce like swords, but the tongue of the wise brings healing.” Our words give us away. In James 3:1-18 we see that the tongue has power; that it is by nature hypocritical; and that it can only be transformed from above.
Your words matter, so choose them carefully…
