The tongue is used for many reasons, but the primary purpose was for creation.  After all, God created the heavens and the earth by speaking it into being..."Let there be light, and there was light".   Many people say that they predicted something to happen, but what they do not realize is that their tongue caused it to happen.     Common phrases like...

• I just tell it like it is
• He/ She always does/ says...
• It just who I am, I say what I feel

create the circumstances that surround them.   What you say really does matter because your tongue changes everything.  Let's face it, you will believe your words before anyone else. 

So, how do you go about taming the tongue?   Well, what makes an animal wild?  The fact that it cannot be trained only once.  The tongue is not like your family dog "Rover", you have to tame it daily.  You have to choose your words daily.  Everything about your tongue doesn't like the taming process because the tongue is tied to your emotions and emotions cannot reason. 

Saying what God says will tame your tongue.  Saying what God says leads to believing what God says and that leads to doing what God says, which leads to receiving what God says you should have and that leads to people to Jesus whether you ever know it or not!  

How about that for being an effective witness? 

Here's another thought...Everyone has doubt, which is the thought.   Speaking the thought is unbelief and unbelief is the opposite of faith.  You will not build your faith by others circumstances, but hearing the Word of God.

Romans 10:17
So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

A final thought:

The first order of discipleship is to tame your tongue and true discipleship is NOT saying everything you think.  Silence can be Golden! 

This just proves that we are actually in control of our destiny!
