The Tongue Speaks the Heart

Jul15

For we all stumble in many ways. If anyone does not stumble in (word) what he says, he is a perfect man, able to bridle the whole body as well.
James 3:2 NASB1995

The tongue. An amazing organ of the body. It has several purposes but is most used for speaking. What rolls off the tongue can be painful, joyful, rude, nice, degrading, encouraging, etc. We have all been at both ends of words spoken, the speaker and the receiver. We are all guilty and all have been affected by words.

Now if we put the bits into the horses’ mouths so that they will obey us, we direct their entire body as well.
Look at the ships also, though they are so great and are driven by strong winds, are still directed by a very small rudder wherever the inclination of the pilot desires.
So also the tongue is a small part of the body, and yet it boasts of great things.
James 3:3-5a NASB1995

The mouth speaks out of that which fills the heart.
Matthew 12:34b NASB1995

What are you filling your heart with?

🌹For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.”
Matthew 12:37 NASB1995

5. Journey to The Cross – Jesus Lovingly Lays Down His Life

Apr7

Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends.
John 15:13 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/jhn.15.13.NASB1995

For one will hardly die for a righteous man; though perhaps for the good man someone would dare even to die.
But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from the wrath of God through Him.
For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life. And not only this, but we also exult in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.
Romans 5:7-11 NASB1995

🌹“I am the good shepherd; the good shepherd lays down His life for the sheep.

Pride to Repentance

Feb13

Who has put wisdom in the innermost being Or given understanding to the mind?
Job‬ ‭38:36‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/job.38.36.NASB1995

‭‭Will you really annul My judgment? Will you condemn Me that you may be justified?
Or do you have an arm like God, And can you thunder with a voice like His?
“Adorn yourself with eminence and dignity, And clothe yourself with honor and majesty.
Pour out the overflowings of your anger, And look on everyone who is proud, and make him low.
Look on everyone who is proud, and humble him, And tread down the wicked where they stand.
Hide them in the dust together; Bind them in the hidden place.
Then I will also confess to you, That your own right hand can save you.
Job‬ ‭40:8‭-‬14‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/job.40.8.NASB1995

‭‭Forgive me, Lord God, of my pride and arrogance, to think that I could compare myself to You. Only You are my salvation and any wisdom or understanding in me comes from You. I humble myself before You as my justification comes only from the sacrifice of Christ. My adornment is the Light and righteousness of You, Jesus, in me. I cannot save myself or anyone. It is by Your sovereign grace and power that anyone is saved.
I have heard of You by the hearing of the ear; But now my eye sees You;
Therefore I retract, And I repent in dust and ashes.”
Job‬ ‭42:5‭-‬6‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/job.42.5.NASB1995

By my repentance You will save. By my belief You will live through me, revealing to the eye, Your glory. Use me for Your glory, Lord God.

The Lord is my strength and song, And He has become my salvation; This is my God, and I will praise Him; My father’s God, and I will extol Him. The Lord is a warrior; The Lord is His name.
Exodus‬ ‭15:2‭-‬3‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/exo.15.2.NASB1995

🌹Your way, O God, is holy; What god is great like our God? You are the God who works wonders; You have made known Your strength among the peoples. You have by Your power redeemed Your people, The sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah.
Psalms‬ ‭77:13‭-‬15‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.77.13.NASB1995

Thank you God for redeeming me.
