The scriptures say that all kind of beasts can be tamed but no man can tame the tongue. With man this is impossible but with God it is possible to control the tongue. It requires knowledge and understanding that come from above.... "A man of knowledge uses words with restraint, and a man of understanding is even-tempered." Proverbs 17:27....
Verses 3-5 indicate that it is through divine obedience that the tongue can be controlled. Think of it as having a divine bit in place. We allow the Holy Spirit to have full reign in our life, but unlike a horse and its owner, we have the ability to choose to remove the bit. The tongue can be controlled, we just have to surrender it to Him...Have you ever had a moment where you open your mouth and garbage falls out? I have and it greived my spirit. This brings me to the point that is made in verse 2...We all stumble...The world may not be there to catch us but praise God He is..

Who is wise and understanding?
What is wisdom?
Wisdom is a deep understanding of people, things, events or situations, empowering the ability to choose or act to consistently produce the optimum results.Wisdom is comprehension of what is true or right coupled with optimum judgment as to action.
Heavenly wisdom is comprhension and deep understanding that come from heart knowledge of the things of God, not head knowledge. It gives us what is needed to act accordingly...When one is acting with heavenly wisdom intact, you will see a person who does not harbor envy and selfish ambition, but one who is peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit (Galations 5:22), impartial and sincere...
What do you see in your heart? Are you operating with earthly wisdom or heavenly wisdom?
Lord, root out all bitterness, envy and selfishness...Help us to operate and act on wisdom that comes from you...In your name Jesus I ask believe and receive....

About Me
- His Delighted Servant
- My faith is what moves me , it is enjoyable, irresistable, lovely and warm with a sense of mystery. Its like a summer day with a gentle breeze blowing my hair, like a butterfly emerging from a cacoon, like a flower pushing its way through the soil of the earth, like a hidden treasure waiting to be found, yes it is my faith that defines me and I am completely content regardless of what goes on around me...My life with Yeshua is like a well written novel that I can not and will not put down... My greatest desire is to be used by Him to touch hearts without religiousity, denominationalism or legalism. One heart at a time. God Bless All from Shelli
