Prayers and Praises Sunday~~ Happy Sunday Sisters!! Today's our prayers and praises day!! This week as we think about our thoughts, words, and habits, I've been really aware of how thoughts and words can either build up or tear down. In James 3:3-7, "When we put bits into the mouths of horses to make them obey us, we can turn the whole animal. Or take ships as an example. Although they are large and are driven by strong winds, they are steered by a very small rudder wherever the pilot wants to go. Likewise, the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts. Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark. The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole body, sets the whole course of one's life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell. All kinds of animals, birds, reptiles and sea creatures are being tamed and have been tamed by mankind, but no human can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison. Our thoughts and words are powerful, powerful weapons that we can either use for GOD'S glory or to destroy.
Dangerous thoughts and words that tell us we come first, dangerous thoughts and words tell us to get mad and hold a grudge, cause big fires. Proverbs 15:28 warns us that, "the heart of the righteous weighs its answers but the mouth of the wicked gushes evil." Condemning thoughts and words are not from GOD. We need to renew our minds with the Word of GOD and not allow the enemy to separate us from the love of GOD and life HE meant for us.
As we submit our praises and prayers today, let us know how we can pray with and for you, and also what amazing things GOD is doing in your lives.
Be Blessed this LORD'S DAY!
