Blessed are the Peacemakers, they will be called children of God. – Matthew 5:9
You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are stayed on You, because he TRUSTS in You. Isaiah 26:3
The “unruly member” – James 3:5-10
“With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse human beings, who have been made in God’s likeness. Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. (verses 9-10)
Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, because our anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires.- James 1:19-20
3 Gatekeepers for our tongue:
- Is it true?
- Is it kind?
- Is it necessary?
Is it time? (Ann’s additional gatekeeper)
Let’s EXAMINE ourselves this next week, examine our motives with the Lord before opening our mouths.
PRAY FIRST!
Ask God FIRST before we speak. “Father, is it true? Is it Kind? Is it necessary?”
We will then be BLESSED.
Let’s BELIEVE His Word.
