Today’s Scripture
“We all fail in many areas, but especially with our words. Yet if we’re able to bridle the words we say we are powerful enough to control ourselves in every way, and that means our character is mature and fully developed. Horses have bits and bridles in their mouths so that we can control and guide their large body. And the same with mighty ships, though they are massive and driven by fierce winds, yet they are steered by a tiny rudder at the direction of the person at the helm. And so the tongue is a small part of the body yet it carries great power! Just think of how a small flame can set a huge forest ablaze.”
James 3:2-5

Today’s Thought
We can’t wait until our words have power… The moment that they do once you say something wrong you will wish they never did. Everything you say is affecting someone’s life around you. Be cautious of what you say.

Today’s Confession
Father God, I thank you that you help me bridle my words. I'm aware that the words I speak are powerful enough to control my life, and to affect the lives of those around me. Thank you for guiding me, and showing me how to speak life and encouragement to my family, my friends, my business and in every situation in my life.
