The Need To Control The Tongue
Our tongue is such a small part of our body
but it can do a lot of damage when spoken
with anger. Just as a small spark of fire can
destroy a forest, our tongue can destroy lives.
If you put a bridle in a horse’s mouth you have
control over that horse. A ship as big as it is
can be controlled by a very small rudder.
Man can tame/control creatures in the sea,
birds of the air and all kinds of animals but
he cannot tame/control his own tongue.
The tongue can contain evil and deadly poison
in our words, as the deadly liquid poison in a
snake’s bite, or in a scorpion’s sting.
God is the only one who can tame/control man’s
tongue. So if you want to achieve this control,
let God be the center of your life.
The tongue is to be used to praise God.
