'The power of the tongue!
The power of the tongue!
"The tongue of the righteous is choice silver" Proverbs 10:20
"The mouth of the righteous brings forth wisdom" Proverbs 10:31
"The tongue of the wise brings healing" Proverbs 12:18
"The tongue that brings healing is a tree of life" Proverbs 15:4
"Death and life are in the power of the tongue!" Proverbs 18:21
"A gentle tongue can break a bone" Proverbs 25:15
The tongue's power to bless others, is simply beyond our understanding.
It can impart valuable knowledge, making others wise.
It can utter kind words, to comfort the sorrowful or cheer the downcast.
It can verbalize thoughts which will arouse, inspire, and quicken heedless souls.
It can sing songs that will live forever, in their influence and ministry.
We should consecrate our tongues to God, and keep them pure for Him.
The lips that speak God's name in prayer and Christian song, and speak vows of fidelity to Christ — should never defile themselves with any type of unwholesome speech.
They should be kept only for Christ.
"Let no unwholesome word proceed from your mouth, but only such a word as is good for edification according to the need of the moment, so that it will give grace to those who hear." Ephesians 4:29
