Get the appI Have Questions: Wordsনমুনা
Putting today’s verse into practice is easy, right? Not exactly. The problem with controlling your tongue is that it can feel impossible. Just ask James, the brother of Jesus (see James 3:8). But that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try. This verse tells us to keep our lips from telling lies. Think back on your day and week. Have there been times when you stretched the truth? When you were quiet when you should have spoken up? Or spoken up when it would have been better to stay quiet? How have your words hurt you or others?
