This week on my journey towards Eldership, I have started to heavily focus on my tongue and what comes from it. Without paying attention to the words I speak, I may bring damage instead of healing (Proverbs 12:18). The tongue can bring trouble if not controlled (Proverbs 21:23). It can ruin your life if not controlled (Proverbs 13:3). It is extremely powerful and can’t be tamed and can kill easily (James 3:8). Without keeping the words I speak in mind, I can easily damage one of my flock or lead them astray. Even if the tongue cannot completely be tamed, I must make efforts to improve myself in this area.
