Taming Your Tongue

If anyone among you thinks he is religious, and does not bridle his tongue

but deceives his own heart, this one’s religion is useless.

James 1:26

James 1:21-27.

Today's Bible Reading: Genesis 16:7-16.

The problems of the world could be solved overnight if we humans could each have victory over our tongues. Suppose there was no anger, no profanity, no lying, no grumbling or complaining; suppose there were no dirty stories told, no unjust criticism—what a different world this would be! The Bible teaches that a man who can control his tongue can control his whole personality. We should ask ourselves three questions before we speak: Is it true? Is it kind? Does it glorify Christ? If we would only learn to think before we speak, there would be much less evil speaking, and there would soon be a spiritual awakening in the lands and a revival in the Church that would sweep across Europe and the whole world.

Prayer: Father, help me daily to remember how important it is to keep a check on my tongue. I pray that my conversation this day will be pleasing in Your sight, Father, In Jesus name. Amen.
