How Will You Use Your Tongue Today

How will you use your tongue today?  “Haven’t really given it much thought,” you say.    You should!  Our tongues can be improperly used in a number of negative ways.  A person’s tongue can be used to incite anger (Proverbs 15:1), speak lies (Ephesians 4:25), violate another person’s trust (Proverbs 11:13), or participate in gossip (I Timothy 5:13).

Thankfully, our tongues can also be used for good.  We can use our tongues to speak the truth or tell others of our faith (Romans 10:9-10), honor God (Hebrews 13:15), encourage others (Ephesians 4:29), and spread God’s word (Psalm 119:172). How will you use your tongue today?  Give it some thought!
