Weapon of Mass Destruction

James 3:3-5 -  Now if we put the bits into the horses' mouths so that they will obey us, we direct their entire body as well. Look at the ships also, though they are so great and are driven by strong winds, are still directed by a very small rudder wherever the inclination of the pilot desires. So also the tongue is a small part of the body, and yet it boasts of great things See how great a forest is set aflame by such a small fire! (NASB)

I do not know what it is? If it has to do with me choosing to live authentic to my call this summer and the innateness of me, but I will have to say God is fine tuning me. It hurts…smiling…What is this about, well this weekend I was stroke with this revelation. The weapon of mass destruction, willed everyday without consideration or care, our tongue; it is deadly, as it merciful. What is done in us, is done through us. With our tongue, we put out what percolates within us. It is no accident; we do not achieve the things of awesomeness. We do not because, we are unwilling to believe outside of ourselves, and have not only spoken negative of others but about ourselves. No one intentionally fashions an un-sturdy foundation, but with our tongue we build it. We become ingrates because something was not quite right; we did not get what we desire; we did not get the response, we desired, or the outcome was less than stellar. Yet, we fail to realize when we are the one being persecuted, and we are on the receiving side; we see it as being unjustified..What webs, we weave when we seek to deceive self and others…. How we destroy and deconstruct with our tongue, with such intentional cuts, the precision so calculated and smooth that the person has to look twice to know the cutting was done. We use our tongue again to justify, what we did and vilify anyone who speaks against us. The tongue can bless but more often than not, it curses. Those curses supplant the grace God gave, with the seeds of conflict and inconsistency, none of us want but we all have spread…The weapon of Mass of destruction can be stop, when we understand better the power of the tongue comes from the heart of the person; for it speaks the truth… 

The power of tongue builds somebody up, or tears them down, we make the choice based on our fleeting emotional instability; that never should have been. . The power of the tongue should not be underestimated. So, as this holiday season is upon us, think before you speak, and then try to bless. You will be surprise how your life will change….For where we end, God begins, His just wants to know you are there to be use..weapon of mass destruction, can easily be change to the wand of blessings upon blessings. Every time you use the tongue to bless, rather than destroy is turning point in your life. We must understand no matter the consequences in our life, our choices are representatives and reflections of our perspective of the world around us…We always choose, it is never the situation or surroundings…
