Positive Quote for the Week: Your tongue is a Powerful Weapon

Often times, the majority of us underestimate the power of one of the smallest members of our body and that is our tongue. James 3:5 states “Even so the tongue is a little member and boasts great things. See how great a forest a little fire kindles!” James is showing us in this verse that our tongue can boast, kindle fires, and has the ability to defile our entire body. Then farther down in the same chapter James describes one of the most important takeaways from his description of our tongue and that is that it has the ability to bring forth blessings and curses, James 3:10.

A lot of Christians read powerful passages in the Holy Bible like these and don’t really take them seriously. Or, they won’t take the time out to truly understand what they are saying. This is how a lot of us get ourselves in situations where the enemy can come into our lives and establish strongholds.

James through the Holy Spirit is not just speaking a careless word; he is literally telling us how influential the words that we speak actually are. They have the power to speak life or to speak death. Once we gain an understanding of how our verbiage can shift situations we will begin to take what we say seriously.

Scriptures on taming your tongue:

Psalm 10:11 “The mouth of the righteous is a well of life, but violence covers the mouth of the wicked.”

Proverbs 10:19 “In the multitude of words sin is not lacking, but he who restrains his lips is wise.”

Proverbs 18:21 “Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit.”

Proverbs 11:12 “He who is devoid of wisdom despises his neighbor, but a man of understanding holds his peace.”

Proverbs 15:4 “A wholesome tongue is a tree of life, but perverseness in it breaks the spirit.”
