Tame Your Tongue

How many relationships have been destroyed because of hurtful words said to the other person? How many reputations have been tarnished because of false things said about other people? And how many people - leaders, politicians, celebrities - have been publicly criticized because they have been careless with their words?

The power of our tongue is undeniable.   So it is a bigger challenge for us to hold our tongue and choose our words carefully as we meet and talk with people each day.

Questions for Reflection:    

• What were the consequences when I was not able to hold my tongue?  
• What do I need to stop doing so that taming my tongue can be easier?  
• How can I experience and show God’s grace instead?
