The tongue, yikes! I always feel so convicted when I read these passages. I have always said the Lord put the book of James in the bible for me. What a terrific warning of what an instrument of destruction the tongue can be. But these verses also contrast how powerful in encouraging others our tongues can be. I want to be an encourager rather than destructive with my words. This is another reminder why I need to be in God's Word and prayer continually because my tongue can not be tamed on it's own.
I hope you are finding this 20 minutes a day guide helpful at getting you started in your time with the Lord daily. There is so much to learn and such a gracious God we serve who patiently teaches us. Stick with it, you can do it.
