To Bridle Your Tongue, Give God The Reins Of Your Heart.

To bridle your tongue, give God the reins of your heart. Yes, it's true, Christians will upset you by their behavior and things they say and do, people in the world will frustrate you by doing things which sometime causes a person to say the wrong thing.  Revenge imprisons us; forgiveness sets us free. Once you let go of what is holding you back, you can move forward in the Word.  James tells us that the source of ruin in our relationships is often a very different kind of fire. He wrote. "The tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity. The tongue is so set among our members that it defiles the whole body." (James 3:6). Let's yield our tongue to the Holy Spirit's control and allow our words to glorify the Lord. 

"When we put bits into the mouths of horses to make them obey us, we can turn the whole animal. Or take ships as an example. Although they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are steered by a very small rudder wherever the pilot wants to go.  Likewise, the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts. Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark. The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole body, sets the whole course of one’s life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell."

Sooo small...but has such a tremendous impact... What a great revelation...soo "simple" ."give God the reins of your heart." 

Proverbs 23:7(AMP)

"For as he thinks in his heart, so is he."

Matthew 12:34(AMP)

"...For out of the fullness (the overflow, the [a]superabundance) of the heart the mouth speaks."
