James:3.6
The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole person, sets the whole course of his life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell.
Exposition
Beloved, use your tongue for the betterment of your life. Imagine how you would speak without the tongue in your mouth. Let's do an exercise, roll your tongue over and try speaking. How did you sound? Funny right? That is how funny your life becomes if you don't use your tongue well.
Your tongue is fire, according to God's word. And fire as we all know can cause harm and can be useful as well. Why cause harm when you can change the situation to be good? Let good words proceed out of out mouths. Let your tongue draw others to Christ.
Our words describe us. Enrich your words with hope and comfort. Never use your tongue to inflict pain or death. But rather let life proceed from your mouth.
Prayer
Dear LORD, I bow before your throne, LORD touch my tongue and let life proceed out from it anytime I speak in Jesus's Name.
