One Tongue Two Uses

Scripture: James 3:9 With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in God’s likeness.

Observation: Each morning, I praise God, pray to Him asking that He would make me the man He wants me to be. It’s not too much longer that I will say something about someone or say something to someone that proves I’m not as close to God as I say.

Application: I realize after I say something it was wrong. I need to think before I speak and how it represents my Lord and what effect it will have on the person I’m talking to.

Prayer: My Lord tame my tongue. May it be used only to praise you and build others up in your name.
