The Power of the Tongue

“Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.” ~ Proverbs 18:21

I’ve never understood why people curse. It makes no sense to me.

If life and death truly lie in the power of the tongue, why would someone want to “curse”? It’s literally like putting a “curse” or a “spell” on someone else. Too creepy for me.

The Bible says that out of the same mouth we both bless and curse (James 3:10). The choice is yours. Why not try blessing those with whom you converse today?

God bless,
J.W.
