[:en]Thoughts from “Our Daily Bread” (6/17/17)[:]

[:en]Tongue is an active little muscular organ that helps us eat, swallow taste and assists us in talking.

James described the tongue as “a small part of the body but it makes great boast.  Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark.  The tongue is also 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” (James 3:3-6)

But the tongue can also turn into great use if we are controlled by the Holy Spirit.  We can use it to speak of God’s righteousness, justice, truth and love.  We can use it to bring healing instead of harm.
