The Tongue

I know right...what in the world could I be talking about now?!?

Don't know if I told you are not, but we've been going to a Topical Bible Study every Thursday evening. BOY! The things I'm learning. Well, last night we talked about our tongue & it started off by this....

There are seven natural openings in the head. They all come in pairs:
Two ears
Two eyes
Two nostrils

except the mouth. We wouldn't ask for two mouths. Who are you telling?!? No way...I think enough comes out of the one mouth I have...certainly don't need two.

Words that come out of our mouth can either be a "blessing or a cursing"

The fewer words you say, the more blessed you are.

Remeber, the fruit of the tree....well our tongue is the fruit to our tree. Do you have a "fruitful tree"?

This is the one I struggle with.....let the yes be a yes and a no be a no.

For example: Did you take the dog out? No, BUT...I'm learning to stop after NO.

Did you want to come with us to lunch? Yes, BUT.....there it is again..I need to let the BUT go. So, I get to start practing this with my kids.

I'm learning the POWER of WORDS. I'm learning what comes out of our mouth predestins us and where we are going.

"When words are many, sin is not absent, but he who holds his tongue is wise" Prov. 10:19

I'm learning that our tongue has ONE purpose only and that is to PRAISE GOD.


Ok, folks, off to work....hope you have a great weekend.

Oh yeah one more thing I heard the other day...

"What man cannot do, GOD can do...what man can do GOD can undo"
