Whoever guards his mouth and tongue keeps his soul from troubles. —Proverbs 21:23

Insight
In today’s passage, James writes about Christian maturity. One of the characteristics of maturity is self-control, particularly control of the tongue. Fortunately, we are not responsible for developing it by willpower alone. It is one of the fruits of the Spirit (Gal. 5:23).

PSALM 86:11

Teach me your way O lord, and i will walk in your truth; give me an undivided heart, that I  may fear your name.

PROVERBS 16:32

 Better a man than a warrior, a man  

who controls a temper than one who takes a city

act 17:30

In the past GOD overlooked such ignorance, but now he commands all people every where to repent.

WHATEVER life throws at you even if it hurts you, just be strong and fight
through it

remember strong walls   shake but never collapse.

(PROVERBS 2:16-19)

it will save you also fro the adulteress from the  wayward wife with with her seductive words,
who has left the partner of her youth
and ignored the covenant she made  before God.
 for her  house leads down to death and her paths to the spirit of the dead.
none who go to her  return or attain the paths of life.

(PROVERBS 2:16-19)

“This is my Bible. I am what it says I am, I have what it says I have, I can do what it says I can do. Today I’ll be taught the Word of God. I boldly confess my mind is alert, my heart is receptive, I’ll never be the same, in Jesus name.
