Taming Your Tongue - Be Careful What You Say

Wouldn't it be nice if we could simply hit an "undo" button or take a mulligan in order to redo a coversation? Life gives us no such opportunities. While we can offer apologies and make amends, words that hurt others cannot be taken back. The damage is done. Today's study focuses on the power of the tongue to accomplish great blessin or to inflict great destruction. Take a moment to think about how your words may have impacted the people in your life. As you read this study, ponder whether your words tend to bless others or hurt them. Use this study as an opportunity to resolve to practice speech that edifies while rejecting words that tear down.
