Alt tag: God contains the tongue.
Do you ever say something and immediately wish you could take it back? Maybe you clapped back at someone who hurt you or fired off a comment online. Words have power. When we speak too quickly, we often speak in anger, not wisdom.
Only the Holy Spirit can tame the tongue.
James 3:7-11 KJV 7For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed of mankind: 8But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.
9Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God. 1
0Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be. 11Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter?
Bible Story Example:
Peter, one of Jesus’ disciples, was known for speaking too fast. In Matthew 16:22 KJV, he even tried to correct Jesus! Later, he denied Jesus three times out of fear. But Jesus forgave him and helped him grow. Peter learned how to speak boldly—but with love.
Matthew 16:21-23 KJV 21From that time forth began Jesus to shew unto his disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day. 22Then Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall not be unto thee. 23But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men.
Real World Example:
Jay got into a disagreement on social media and quickly typed a long, angry reply. After posting it, he felt convicted. He deleted it, apologized, and later shared a thoughtful post instead. That second post helped others—and gave God the glory.
Takeaway Thought:
Slow your words—your witness is louder than your temper.
Reflection Question:
Do you think before you speak, or do you let your emotions drive your words?

A CALL TO SALVATION:
John 3:16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”
Romans 10:9-10 9That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness, and with the mouth, confession is made unto salvation.
John 3:5-6 5Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. 6That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7
