“Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God. Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be.”
James 3:9-10 KJV
The tongue is what James is talking about. Jesus said that out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. We use our tongue to thank, praise & worship God; and with the same we criticise and condemn others. Jesus also said that we will give an account of every idle word we have spoken. Let’s get into the habit of blessing others, specially those with whom we don’t agree with. Let’s use our tongue to pray for those who don’t know the great & glorious Gospel of the Lord Jesus, that even at the point of death He blessed & forgave those who reviled and cursed Him. We may think that we can’t be like Jesus, in this matter, but Jesus definitely wants us to be like Him! Let’s thank, praise & worship God and then use our tongue to pray and bless those who don’t know the Lord Jesus so they come to know Him.
