For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body.
JAMES 3:2
Proverbs 18:21 says, โDeath and life are in the power of the tongueโฆ.โ It parallels what the Master said in Matthew 12:37, โFor by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.โ Through your thoughts, your character is formed, but itโs expressed through your words. Your mouth-work is your life.
As revealed in our opening verse, Christian perfection or maturity is expressed primarily in your communication. If you want to go in the right direction in life, your tongue is the compass. If you offend in words, youโre sunk; but if your communication is wholesome, your life will be great. Your speech controls you. Proverbs 15:4 says, โA wholesome tongue is a tree of lifeโฆโ I love the way Peter puts it in 1 Peter 3:10; it says, โFor he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile.โ In other words, maintain the right confession.
Your mouth is where your blessing is. Romans 10:10 says, โโฆwith the mouth confession is made unto salvation.โ Itโs a principle. God said to Joshua, โThis book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and nightโฆโ (Joshua 1:8). That means keep affirming the Word.
No matter whatโs happening around you, keep the Word on your lips. The Bible says, โWhen men are cast down, then thou shalt say, There is lifting upโฆโ (Job 22:29). Again, the emphasis is on what you say. When things are rough and tough, youโre not to wait to be lifted; you have a lifting power; itโs in your mouth.
What is it that you want? Itโs all in your mouth. Thatโs the compass with which you steer your life aright, in the direction of Godโs perfect will. Blessed be God!
