The power of what you are letting come out of your right now is more important than ever before.
Every time you open your mouth you have the power to either speak light into the world, or speak darkness. I'm finding there to be a lot of both and not much in between.
"but no human being can tame the tongue. It is restless evil, full of deadly poison." (James 3:8)
Everyone is in one of two boats right now, you have either made a commitment to the opportunity at hand or you fell into the evil and negative trap that things are not going to get better. There really can't be an in-between.
Some of you might be thinking...if we can't tame the tongue, why bother trying?
We need to try more than ever right now to be careful about what we let come out of our mouths.
Even if we may not achieve perfect control of our tongues, we can still learn enough control to reduce the damage that our words can do.
It's better to fight a fire than to go around setting new ones! Remember that we are not fighting the tongue's fire in our own strength.
The Holy Spirit will give us increasing power to monitor and control what we say, so that when we re offended or perturbed, the Spirit will remind us of God's love, and we won't react in a super negative or hateful manner.
Right now you have an opportunity to be different than everyone else. Be mindful of what you say and how you react and I can assure you that you are going to make a huge difference in the lives of many people.
I write for one reason, and that is to encourage others, give perspective, and get people excited about their faith.
