"The tongue has the power of life and death." Prov 18:21a It can tear apart our lives...it can dampen our perfectly good moods, it can ruin relationships. Perhaps what's going thru' in my family now is a test of (some of) our faith. Focussing on God will do the 'trick' (there really is no trick).
"The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole person, sets the whole course of his life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell." James 3:7 James compares the damage the tongue can do to a raging fire - the tongue's wickedness has its source in hell itself. The uncontrolled tongue can do terrible damage. Satan uses the tongue to divide people and pit them against one another. Idle and hateful words are damaging because they spread destruction quickly, and no one can stop the results once they are spoken. We dare not be careless with what we say, thinking we can apologise later, because even if we do, the scars remain. A few words spoken in anger can destroy a relationship that took years to build. Before you speak, remember the words are like fire - you can neither control nor reverse the damage they do!
Sounds good? Not at all... Maybe we should be more careful with our words from now on? Don't exaggerate circumstances, don't speak ill of others (cursing, in other words). Ask God to grant us the wisdom, discernment and sensitivity.

Thank you Father for the wonderful times spent with family, friends and thank you for giving me rest. Now it's seriously getting down to work!! Ahhh. God thank you for being with me thru' it all and thank you for the discipline you're about to give me. Honestly I think this new table's pretty good for work. Certainly more conducive than before so thank you. I just need to not be distracted :P In Jesus' Name, amen!

Great is Your faithfulness
True are Your promises
Wide is Your love and grace
You never change
You never fail, O God
So we raise up holy hands
To praise the Holy One
Who was and is and is to come
You were, You are
You will always be

Everything in my world can fall apart, but God it's just you and me. No matter what changes, you don't. I change, yet your love for me never does. You're more worthy than of the most praise I can give you. Take my heart God. It's all yours. You're unchanging.
