"Whoever would love life and see good days must keep his tongue from evil and his lips from deceitful speech" (1 Peter 3:10).
Good days! Who wouldn't enjoy good days? I am sure everybody would like to enjoy good days. But not all people live good lives and enjoy good days. That means there's a discrepancy between the life I can have and the life I actually have. How come?
Today's headline gives us a good answer: My tongue is the culprit. With my tongue I set the course for my life, either good or bad. "The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit" (Proverbs 18:21). Or as other translations put it: Death and life are in the power of the tongue.
That's plain and straightforward talk. With my tongue I set the course for my life. I am the administrator of my life, or the chauffeur if you like, and the steering wheel is my tongue.
Where are you heading today? Towards life or towards death? Ask God to show you how to use your tongue to His glory and towards life. He's always there to help, guide and suppport you in your good decisions. Ask Him, and He will help you!
