Verse 10 - "Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing."
Words can be very helpful, or very hurtful. Out of the mouth comes the truth, or a bunch of gossip and lies. This is a heart issue in most cases - the tongue only shapes the words in our hearts and minds. We can sound mighty religious in church, but if other times our mouth spews cursive language, gossip, and lies - then we have a heart/spirit issue that needs addressed.
Finally, if our heart is right with the Lord, then our mouth/tongue can be useful tools for the expansion of His Kingdom - if we speak the Good News to others. I have a phrase taped to the inside cover of my Bible (unsure of the author), but it states, "My tongue can be cruel in two ways: by speaking evil, or by refraining from speaking good."
About Me
- Rich
- I am a sinner saved by God's grace. I, like most people, find myself scrambling to make time for God. I decided to start a blog after reading "Too Busy Not To Pray", by Bill Hybels. This is the 3rd time I read this book, but the 1st time it made a difference. I need to "slow down" and spend time with my Creator. Mr. Hybels recommends journaling, which I tried in the past. I thought I would commit to creating a blog as the method of journaling. My intentions were to blog every day, but then life happened. I need to do better.
