Treacherous Tongue

Psalm 120

Inspired thots

One moment we can be calling on the Lord for deliverance and blessings; another moment we could be lying and waging war with our tongue. How true when James commented as the difficult control of the tongue. It is  as difficult as the heart to manage.

Only by God's grace and loads of humility can the tongue come under subjection.

Lord, help guard my tongue and heart for Your glory. Let these two align to Your Will and Ways.
