Controlling Our Words by God’s Grace

From the book Power Thoughts Devo – by Joyce Meyer

According to our Bible verse for today, the one thing proving our level of spiritual maturity isn’t how religious we are—whether we can quote Scripture, or the good works we do—it is the words from our mouths.

James 1:26 (AMPC) says, If anyone thinks himself to be religious (piously observant of the external duties of his faith) and does not bridle his tongue but deludes his own heart, this person’s religious service is worthless (futile, barren).

No matter how religious you think you are, the true test proving your spirituality is whether you bridle your tongue or not. Bridle means “to restrain or control.” If we aren’t controlling our tongues, we are not operating in the level of maturity God wants us to have.

Prayer of the Day: Lord, through You, I am able to control the words I speak by God’s grace. In Jesus’ name, amen.
