SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY JAMES 3:1-12

Controlling the Things We Say

¹ My brothers and sisters, not many of you should become teachers, because you know that we who teach will be judged more strictly.² We all make many mistakes. If people never said anything wrong, they would be perfect and able to control their entire selves, too.³ When we put bits into the mouths of horses to make them obey us, we can control their whole bodies.⁴ Also a ship is very big, and it is pushed by strong winds. But a very small rudder controls that big ship, making it go wherever the pilot wants.⁵ It is the same with the tongue. It is a small part of the body, but it brags about great things.

A big forest fire can be started with only a little flame.⁶ And the tongue is like a fire. It is a whole world of evil among the parts of our bodies. The tongue spreads its evil through the whole body. The tongue is set on fire by hell, and it starts a fire that influences all of life.⁷ People can tame every kind of wild animal, bird, reptile, and fish, and they have tamed them,⁸ but no one can tame the tongue. It is wild and evil and full of deadly poison.⁹ We use our tongues to praise our Lord and Father, but then we curse people, whom God made like himself.¹⁰ Praises and curses come from the same mouth! My brothers and sisters, this should not happen.¹¹ Do good and bad water flow from the same spring?¹² My brothers and sisters, can a fig tree make olives, or can a grapevine make figs? No! And a well full of salty water cannot give good water.

I WISH YOU DAY FILLED WITH LOVE, LAUGHTER, FORGIVENESS AND THANKSGIVING-JASPER
