“The tongue is the thermometer of your spirit.”

  ²⁶If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man’s religion is vain.  

James 1:26

 ³⁵A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.  ³⁶But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.  ³⁷For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.  

Matthew 12:35-37

39 I said, I will take heed to my ways, that I sin not with my tongue: I will keep my mouth with a bridle, while the wicked is before me.

Psalm 39:1

¹⁷² My tongue shall speak of thy word: for all thy commandments are righteousness.

Psalm 119:172

Whatever people talk about the most is what they are focused on most of the time. What we read, watch or listen to will eventually show up in our conversation. You don’t have to talk to someone too long before you start to understand where they are spiritually. Our words betray us. Especially when we are under pressure from circumstances. If your meditation is on God’s Word then that is what will come out of you when you speak. The Bible says, life and death are in the power of the tongue. So it is very important to your life the words you say. Speak life!
