DAILY READINGS: Deut. 6 to 7:11; Eccl. 8 to 9:10; Luke 8:22-39
Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth! James 3:5
The tongue is a menace! It is wholly inconsistent because it at one moment praises God, while at the next it berates the sons of God. If you cannot control your tongue, your whole life is askew. Once spoken, words cannot be recalled, neither are they justified by an apology. “Sorry” is too late; the damage is done. Let us therefore be careful what we say and always ask these questions before we presume to comment about others, “Is it true, is it kind, is it even necessary?” —Roy Hill
When Satan whispers, hate your foe, take your vengeance; draw the bow,
Protect us from the tempter’s guile, the lying voice, the evil smile.
O let us come in trust to You, to hear the word we know is true. —R. Adams
