What do we have and we think is small but mighty that can ruin someones life.
It's the tongue, your tongue, my tongue and our tongue.
The tongue is one of the smallest part of the body but it is a very powerful instrument. it can be deployed to do either good or evil, depending on its usage. Why is such a small body organ so dangerous and lethal?
Recent research has revealed that there are only few placed more infected with harmful micro organisms than the human mouth. In 2009, Medical press Corps News Services reported a study led by DR. David Relman, an associate professor of medicine and immunology at Stanford University, where evidence of 37 unique bacteria were found in the human mouth.
It was further confirmed that microbiologists have never recorded the species before.
The small but mighty tongue is like the bits used to control and direct a horse. To what extent can you bridle or tame your tongue? The way your tongue is used can steer the direction of your entire life. You can go down the straight part or veer off into bramble and briars all depending on how to use your tongue.
Are there things you said in the past that you are regretting?
Perhaps, such statements have ruined friendships, marriages, blood ties and cost you an offer or when you make promises with your tongue and you can't keep to it ( like me promising someone who helped me something today but couldn't make up with the promise and from there my relationship with such person is crashing ).
The truth is that we need to think deeply before speaking in other to use our tongue wisely!
Once you speak, it cannot be withdrawn; you can only regret that it was not said . As a matter of fact, the best you can do to salvage the situation is to either apologize or claim to withdraw the statement. Don't allow your tongue to make a fool of you; ruin your entire life and even other people's life.
The tongue is not just an organ for food tasting and mastication. It is very helpful for speech and sound production. Therefore we use it to talk, sing, shout, pray, bless and even curse. The devil also tempt us to use our tongue to speak evil, pull others down and lie. IN addition to this, the world around us, the media, pop culture tend to lead us into using our tongues to speak in wrong and unhealthy ways.
Only speak what you want to be brought into existence because death and life are the power of the tongue.
