It is early a.m., do you know where your tongue is?

Good morning everyone!! What a great day to be today, the first of the rest of your life! Many don't like this saying, but if you think about it- it makes a lot of sense. Yesterday, last night, 5 seconds ago are in the past. That time is history, never to be changed, but we can affect the future. Let go let GOD!! God is good all the time, all the time God is good!
Okay, we have been talking in James about the tongue. How something so small can be so destructive.

James 3:9-10 (New Living Translation)
9 Sometimes it praises our Lord and Father, and sometimes it curses those who have been made in the image of God. 10 And so blessing and cursing come pouring out of the same mouth. Surely, my brothers and sisters, this is not right!

The actions of the tongue shows its inconsistency. We are made in the image of God, our tongue to fulfill its highest purpose - to bless God! But, it is also used to curse men. This inconsistency, specially among Christians, should not exist.

Stephen Barabas makes this statement "Man is a rational, self-conscious, self determining creature, capable of obedience to moral law, and intended by God for fellowship with Himself." The Lord can forgive the worst offender; thus Christians shoud hope for God's regenerating power even in unlikely persons.

It is early morning, do you know what your tongues intent for the day is? Think before you speak, let the image of Jesus show through you. Love you all.


In Christ's Love and Grace
