Taming the Tongue

Taming the Tongue

Man has been able to tame reptiles, animals, birds and many sea creatures; but no one till now, has been able to tame a tongue. It is a small powerful, muscular organ with rich supply of blood vessels. 

When we put a bridle, and some pieces of food, in the mouth of a horse, they obey us. We can also take the example of ship, even though large ships might be there, and the waves and fierce storms, can toss the ship, but a small rudder in the pilots hand, can control the ship.
 Likewise the tongue also makes great boast. Tongue is a fire, it can get a great forest, set on fire by a small spark. It corrupts the whole body, sets the whole course of one's life on fire.

With tongue you can taste good and bad food. Our tongue has an incredible power.The saying" sticks and stones can break my bones but words will never hurt me is simply not true." Our tongues can be the most difficult thing to control and leave us with great regret if we use our words to hurt others. So it is good to tame it. So try to say positive things always.

God sees our behavior attitude and the way we deal with people. Try not to harbor bitter, envy and selfish ambitions that may lead to evil practice. Our mouth should be filled with grace when we speak. God wants it to be used to bless rather than curse. Be a blessing to everyone.

A stream cannot  have both fresh water and salty water so is the tongue. Try to tame your own tongue and see the beautiful result, God is going to give.
"Death and Life are in the power of a tongue,and those who love it will eat its fruit."
