The Tongue is a Weapon
Did you know that dental experts say the tongue is the dirtiest part of the mouth? Makes sense—it does a lot. It helps us taste, speak, and push food down our throats. It’s also loaded with nerves and transmitters, making it one of the most powerful muscles in our bodies.
But here’s the thing—it’s not just physically powerful, it’s spiritually powerful too.
Proverbs 12:18 says the tongue is as sharp as a sword—and we all know what a sword does. It cuts. It wounds. It kills. Some of us have spoken words so sharp that they’ve killed relationships, destroyed trust, and left permanent scars.
Ever been in the heat of the moment and said something you immediately regretted? Maybe you apologized, but the damage was already done. The relationship died because your words killed it.
To React or Deactivate?
When you hold a sword, you have to swing with intention—otherwise, you might hit something (or someone) you didn’t mean to.
Your words work the same way. The wrong response at the wrong time can destroy what God is trying to build in your life. This about it:
Do you listen first before forming an opinion?
Do you allow your emotions to dictate your words?
Do your words bring healing or do they leave scars?
A reactive tongue is a dangerous weapon. A controlled tongue is a tool for building, healing, and leading.
What Are You Drinking?
What you consume determines what you speak.
Alcohol and toxic substances cloud your judgment. What you take in starts coming out—and not just physically. It seeps into your words, your actions, your relationships.
Water represents the Holy Spirit—it refreshes, cleanses, and fills you with life-giving words.
Isaiah 44:3 says that God pours out His Spirit like water. Just like your body needs hydration, your spirit needs God’s Word daily to make sure your mouth is speaking life, not destruction.
