Wise Words

What is the strongest muscle in the human body? Some say it's the tongue, but it's hard to determine which muscle is the most powerful because muscles don't work alone. 

But we do know that the tongue is strong. For a small muscle, it can do a lot of damage. this active little muscular organ that helps us eat, swallow, taste, and begin digestion has tendency to also assist us in saying things we shouldn't. the tongue is guilty of flattery, cursing, lying, boasting, and harming others. And that's just the short list.

It sounds like a pretty dangerous muscle, doesn't it? But here's the good thing: it doesn't have to be that way. When we are controlled by the Holy Spirit, our tongues can be turned to great good. we can speak of God's righteousness and justice. We can speak the truth, show love, and confess sin.

The writer of Proverbs 12:18 spells out one of the best uses for the tongue: 

"The tongue of the wise brings healing."

Imagine how we could glorify the one who made our tongues when He helps us use it to bring healing --not harm-- to everyone we interact with. How different would our relationships with each other be?
