“…tongues flapping in the breath. “ Like flags flapping in
the wind, they “snap.”
Does your tongue have a “bite” to it? Maybe, like a horse, it needs a bit
to rein it in.
With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse human beings, who have been made in God’s likeness. Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers and sisters, this should not be. (James 3:9-10)
“I probably shouldn’t say this….” Then
DON’T!
"Bite your tongue, before it bites someone else." (C. Huffman,
10/6/13)
Make your words count. Use your tongue to edify others---to build them up & to encourage them.
Submit your tongue to the Lord. Allow Him steer your words
in order to avoid unnecessary or hurtful “flapping and snapping.” (in context, James 3:1-10)
