Tuesday Thoughts

Are words powerful?

Well, in a word,

yes.

Especially powerful are the words of women. Think of all the people you speak to-husbands, children, friends, neighbors, relatives, co-workers, etc. There are many opportunities to influence for the positive. Or the negative.

In the ladies' Tuesday morning Bible study this week we started our discussion of what the Bible has to say about words and the tongue.

God has many things to tell us about the tongue.

James 3:3-5
"Now if we put the bits into the horses' mouths so that they may obey us, we direct their entire body as well.
Behold, 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 als the tongue is a small part of the body, and yet it boasts of great things. Behold, how great a forest is set aflame by such a small fire!"

Would you consider joining us in reading "The Power of a Woman's Words" by Sharon Jaynes? If you can't join us on Tuesday mornings, we can still discuss and share on this blog. :)

Next week we'll cover part 2, God's Incredible Gift.
