My Reflections

Tongue of Life or Death?

prompt
Proverbs 12:18
There is that speaketh like the piercings of a sword: but the tongue of the wise is health.

The Bible says that the power of life and death are in the tongue. How are you able to practice controlling yours? What do you need to work on in this area?

I am praying God reveals to me what is the root in my heart when I feel I am speaking words of death or bad words. I still have curse words slip occasionally when I am angry. I am better than I once was with it but I still need to work on this. Everything we say and do is truly a matter of what is in the heart. I ask God to take the weeds out of my garden.
