(James 3:10 NKJV) Out of the same mouth proceed blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not to be so.
How many of us can praise God in the morning when we wake up and shortly after that something happens to cause us to say something we know we shouldn’t be saying?
This stuff irritates me to no end, because it is so hard at times to stop in the middle of saying something. It’s like once it gets rolling it’s hard to turn it off. So, we have to try that much harder to not let it get rolling.
We have to catch it when it is still a thought. Do you remember your mom or dad telling you when you are growing up, you need to think before you speak? I remember especially when it was all said and done, and I was getting a lecture over what I just did. Whew…how many times did we have to hear this one?
We all struggle with this and it’s not easy. But, I will say that God is even pleased with our efforts in trying to do the right thing. If we fail and say or do it wrong, we need to repent and work at getting it right next time. That is what God is looking for… our effort in trying to do what is right.
Keep working it! It will get easier.
