But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison. James 3:8
The rest of that chapter in James 3, tells us that it is powerful and that we should not allow it to speak ill.
That fact that no man can tame the tongue tells us that we need God to help us.
Another thing we can give to Jesus as a gift.
We might not think of it as a gift, but it is an act of humility to surrender it as often as is needed unto the Lord.
It is hard to control that tongue.
We say things we wish we hadn’t and we might ask for forgiveness, or not.
Asking for forgiveness is good, but surrendering our tongue to the Holy Spirit is beneficial.
He that covereth his sins shall not prosper:
but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy. Proverbs 28:13
Jesus will help us with our weaknesses and inadequacies in order to use that little member for His glory
and not to let it be used to curse someone or speak evil of them or say something we should not.
It’s hard to bless our enemies, speak only good of them.
no matter what that might be.
When we commit our little member into the hands of the Lord as often as we need to,
that act will be considered a gift to the Lord that He will return to us infinity
since the tongue can do great harm or be used for God’s glory .
