Perfection In Relation To The Tongue by KaideeGee(m): 8:46pm On Nov 16, 2021
James 3:2
[2]For we all stumble in many things. If anyone does not stumble in word, he is a perfect man, able also to bridle the whole body.
1 Peter 3:10
[10]For “He who would love life And see good days, Let him refrain his tongue from evil, And his lips from speaking deceit.

Holy Spirit of God with gratitude and appreciation in our hearts we come into your presence, for all you are, all you have done, all you are doing and all you will do we say thank you. Cleanse us with the blood of your son Jesus Christ, sanctify us by your sacrifice.
Teach us your ways and cause us to walk in your truth. Cause us to beat God fruit that all may see and glorify you. Amen.

What's up fellow followers?
Today's scripture is real eye-opener, if I could say so, it succinctly explains the importance the figurative tongue in a person's life. Buy tongue here, we mean an individual's speech faculty.
The passage says "if a man does not stumble in speech, He is a perfect man" This means a long as you are perfectly able to control your speech at all times you can control every other aspect of your life. Even Christ said, "It is not what enters a man that defiles Him, but what comes out of Him". This is honestly ridiculously mind-blowing, I mean perfection can't be that easy right? But there's a catch here James 3:8 -
[8]But no man can tame the tongue. It is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.
But don't let this deter you, Jesus said "With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible". So put in your best effort and leave the rest to God once H He sees your determination, He will surely give more grace.
Peace...
