I have hidden Thy word in my heart.

James 3. “With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse human beings, who have been made in God’s likeness. Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers and sisters, this should not be” (Verses 9-10). Oh, the tongue (especially mine), I am convinced at times it has a mind of its own. But sadly, it does not. I am its sole controller. We need to watch our words. What we say to others can either hurt or heal. It can be the tool that spurs another on to greatness, or it can break and destroy a soul. It ought not be the latter. Let your words be seasoned with salt and showered in God’s grace and love. Then and only then will it have the healing effect.
