Read
James 3:2.
Our WORDS reflect our
character. They are a window into our
hearts.
So far, James has been
telling us over and over the importance of good works in a believer’s
life. But, he also acknowledges that all
Christians stumble. In other words, they
sin.
In no way, does this get us
off the hook to feel better about ourselves.
Our continual pursuit should
be Christ-likeness. Sometimes, however,
it seems like two steps forward, one step back, ay? But, the general direction is heavenward.
Question: Do you
have control over your words? Are they
kind? Are they truthful? How about the tone in your voice or your body
language? Did you realize those
communicate as well?
“For out of the overflow of
the heart, the mouth speaks.”
TARGET of the DAY
Today, ask God to reveal to you areas where you have not
allowed Him access. He wants to be in
control of all areas. Our pursuit should
be Christ-likeness. Would others say
this of you? Would your family say this
of you? Come clean today and confess
your sin to God. Ask God to show you what you
need to do to turn from whatever your issue is.
This will be tough, no doubt. But
we have to begin somewhere and sometime, why not here and now?
