Bibleverseinayear: Day 31 of 365

Ephesians 4: 29

"Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen."

It has been said that the “tongue” is one of the most exercised muscles of our body. It has been estimated that in a typical week, the average person will speak enough words to fill a 500-page book!

The tongue has incredible power. We can use our tongue to bring blessings and life or curses and death.

The saying "sticks and stones can break my bones but words will never hurt me" is simply not true. Our tongues can be the most difficult thing to control and leave us with great regret if we use our words to hurt.

But, there is hope! The Bible tells us that with the help of the Holy Spirit we can have power and control over our tongue.
