WATCH FIRST
I’ve been really confronted lately with the power of my
words. In addition to this powerful 3
Minute Theology video, I have a devotional on Taming the Tongue. Talk about CONVICTION! I tend to be pretty nice and polite with my
words, but I also have a viper’s tongue.
I can be cruel and judgmental, harsh and demanding, demeaning and proud,
and a braggart and a betrayer of trusts.
It has been a desire of mine to get this out of control tongue under
control. I’ve been adding it to my
morning prayers, to place a heavenly guard at my mouth. It is a Fruit of the Spirit to have
self-control, which means I can’t do it on my own. I know I will still fail from time to time. And that’s where this amazing thing called
GRACE comes into play. How amazing it is
to have a God that is willing to forgive us over and over, even when we keep
doing the same stupid things. Remember
those chosen people of the Old Testament, the “stiff-necked people,” we can all
just include ourselves in there.
Stiff-necked is such an accurate description of the human spirit and
pride. May our stiff-necks be made more
flexible by practicing bowing our head to pray to the Lord of the
Universe. Please watch the 3 Minute
Theology video, I am positive it will open your eyes to the importance of words
(even far beyond that of appreciation of lexicology and extravagant words).
