Hey Quest!-
I read James 3 today and I just thought that I should tell y'all what I thought about it!
Ok, first, this chapter gives such a powerful message on something that we can all work on. What we say. In James 3:9-10 it says, "With it we bless our God and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in the similitude of God. Out of the same mouth proceed blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not be so." We all say bad things. Some more than others. It says in James 3:2, "For we all stumble in many things. If anyone does not stumble in word, he is a perfect man." We are definately not perfect. I know that I can think of several different things that I have said that have been bad. But we can all work on saying better things. We should all use our words for encouragment, not for cursing. I also loved how in this chapter it gave so many metaphors to explain how our mouth controls a lot that we do. And in the end, James 3 tied in with James to, when it mentions works and partiality.
Praying for y'all,
Allie
So true. Our tongues are so so powerful... Not just in a bad way either, our tongue can bless people and move peoples hearts! I want to bring glory to God today in the way that I use my tongue. I dont want to have both fresh water and salt water in my mouth.
