Control your tongue
Proverbs 12:18
The words of the reckless pierce like swords, but the tongue of the wise brings healing.

The bible says death and life are in the power of the tongue. (Proverbs 18:21) .This implies that what you say has serious implications.

With your words you can bring comfort and healing to yourself and others. The same tongue can speak words that bring disaster and harm to others and yourself as well.

This is confirmed in the verse above. James 3:5–10 says that:
The tongue is one of the smallest parts of the body but it can cause a lot of trouble. If you can control your tongue then you can win all the battles you face in life.

This is because you can make yourself speak success even when there is failure.

James 1:26
Those who consider themselves religious and yet do not keep a tight rein on their tongues deceive themselves, and their religion is worthless

As Christians what we say is very important because we are ambassadors of Christ. Learn to speak life into every dead or impossible situation you come across.
God be with you

How can I apply the word to my life?
1. Cultivate the habit of speaking positive or speaking life into every dead situation.
2. When you are angry or hurt, think twice about what you say. During such times you will be tempted to speak negative things.

Prayer
Lord Jesus, thank you for the gift of this day. Help me control my tongue and speak words of wisdom and encouragement at all times. Amen.
