Leash laws

Tuesday September 19th, James 3: 3 We can make a large horse turn around and go wherever we want by means of a small bit in its mouth. 4 And a tiny rudder makes a huge ship turn wherever the pilot wants it to go, even though the winds are strong. 5 So also, the tongue is a small thing, but what enormous damage it can do. What do you give voice to in your life? When the tongue starts flapping, what kind of conversations does it direct your life into. Without conscious effort on our part, we can find ourselves drawn into the world around us, and our tongue as the one that has us on a leash. It is supposed to be the other way around, we are to lead the tongue, and it is to do our bidding. If life is not going the way you would wish, if you are not going the direction you would like to be going, perhaps it is time to turn the leash around. Maybe you should be leading the tongue in your direction.
