TAMING OF THE TONGUE

MEMORY VERSE: “But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison” (James 3:8).

BIBLE TEXT: JAMES 3:7-12

It was C. T. Studd who wisely stated that, “Whatever moves the heart wags the tongue.” Everybody delights to speak. Many say what they later wish they never said. No wonder King Solomon wrote that, “In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin: but he that refraineth his lips is wise” (Proverbs 10:19). Wild beasts and dangerous snakes have been tamed by man. Unfortunately some persons have taught their tongues to speak lies, and wearied themselves to commit iniquity (Jeremiah 9:5). Untamed tongues are controlled by the flesh and Satan.

It is very amazing to know that life is in the power of the tongue (1Peter 3:10). When we keep our tongues, we do ourselves much good as we can learn more in quietness. We learn a lot by listening to others instead of engaging in much talking that cause spiritual leakage. Speak only when it is necessary. Talk more to God than to people. Taming the tongue involves salvation, sanctification and meditating on God’s word. Pray for a pure heart and the Holy Spirit will direct your speech.

QUOTE: Talk more to God than to people

PRAYER: O God, help me to speak wisely in Jesus’ name.

CHALLENGE: Tame your tongue by thinking before speaking
