THE POWER OF YOUR TONGUE

LIGHT FOR THE WAY

(Daily Devotional)

Sunday 17th March 2018

TOPIC: THE POWER OF YOUR TONGUE

TEXT: "And the tongue is a fire…and setteth on fire the course of nature…"( James 3:6).

James 3 talks about the power of our tongue and how wrong words can have devastating effects. It probably focuses mostly on the negative side of the tongue, because we have a tendency to be more negative with our words than positive.

 People tend to speak death far more than life. They will discuss sickness far more than the blessings of health. James 3:6 says our tongue is like a fire. Fire has the ability to spread rapidly and eventually affects things not even in its original vicinity. Our words can spread and affect things we didn’t even expect or perhaps may never even know about. James 3:6 also says, “and setteth on fire the course of nature.” It is saying that our words can literally set nature in motion. If our words can set nature in motion in the negative sense, then they can set it in motion in the positive sense, but those words need time to spread. James also likens our words to the rudder on a ship. Ships can’t be turned in one instant. It may take some time to reverse some things with our words, but nature will adjust to them eventually.

So begin to change things that have been formed by words today, whether they were yours or someone else’s, and allow nature to be set in motion for blessing!
