FindingGod –3 minute Retreats
Living a moral life
James 3:5
In the same way the tongue is a small member yet it has great pretensions.
Consider how a small fire can set a huge forest ablaze.
The phrase “harmless gossip” is an oxymoron.
Words have power.
In this passage from the epistle of James,
he warns of the destructive power of words.
One title of Jesus is the Word of God.
Our commitment to Christ commits us
to truth in word and action.
In order to live a moral live
We are to refrain from gossip, slander and detraction.
Our tongues are committed to the truth, justice,
and mercy of God, who gave them to us.
Am I tempted to criticize others rather than affirm them? .........
What help I need from God to positively affirm others? ............
God of truth, mercy, and justice, let my words and actions
reflect my devotion to you.
Amen.
