"With a tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in God's likeness. Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers, this should not be. Can both fresh water and salt water flow from the same spring?" James 3:9-11
Okay. So. That tongue of yours. What has come from it lately? I noticed what came from mine as of late and i had to slap my forehead as i remembered what was just discussed in church. That was only moments ago before writing this note. Okay I was going for something profound but that isn't happening so I am just going to say it now. We should watch what we say. Honestly I don't know how many times I have caught myself now talking about people. Only hours ago praising God. Yeah I am guilty of this and I am not putting anyone in specific on blast cause to be honest we all do or have done it. Seriously though I know I need to make a conscious effort to stop and try at least to think about what I am going to say. Try and tame that tongue because i think there are positive and negative ways of talking about people. Negative is put downs, rumors and such and yes cursing those people though maybe not even in the sense you're thinking of. Positive is talking about a person in a god light or even discussing what may be wrong in their lives BUT praying for them. Let's not tear down with the same tongue that praises God, no matter how much our blood may boil.
