Today I would like to look at James 3 verse 3 to 12
3)We put a bit into the mouth of a horse to make it obey us, and we are able to make it go where we want.
4)Or think of a ship: big as it is and driven by such strong winds, it can be steered by a very small rudder, and it goes wherever the pilot wants it to go.
5)So it is with the tongue: small as it is, it can boast about great things.
Just think how large a forest can be set on fire by a tiny flame!
6)And the tongue is like a fire. It is a world of wrong, occupying its place in our bodies and spreading evil through our whole being. It sets on fire the entire course of our existence with the fire that comes to it from hell itself. 7)Human beings can tame and have tamed all other creatures — wild animals and birds, reptiles and fish.
8)But no one has ever been able to tame the tongue. It is evil and uncontrollable, full of deadly poison.
9)We use it to give thanks to our Lord and Father and also to curse other people, who are created in the likeness of God.
10)Words of thanksgiving and cursing pour out from the same mouth. My brothers and sisters, this should not happen!
11)No spring of water pours out sweet water and bitter water from the same opening.
12)A fig tree, my brothers and sisters, cannot bear olives; a grapevine cannot bear figs, nor can a salty spring produce sweet water.
The tong does the same work as a rudder of a ship, it can influence the entire body. If you use the power of the tong correctly you can create a good and positive world, if the power of the tong is used incorrectly it can create an evil world. The tong also show what is in the heart - a spring cannot give sweet and bitter water, thus when the heart is good, the power of the tong should be used for good. We must make sure that we control our own tong.
I hope you have a wonderful day.
Soli Deo Gloria
