‘It Is Good And Wise To Obey God.’
a) Proverbs 19:16. If we obey we are guarding our life and keeping our soul.
b) Ecclesiastes 11:9. We must give an account to God for everything we do.
c) Leviticus 26:21. We should never be hostile towards God and refuse to obey Him.
(This QT reminds me that It Is Good And Wise To Obey God)

‘We Should Not Stumble Over Our Tongue.’
James 3:2-6.
a) James 3:2. We are going on to perfection and able to keep our whole body in check if we are able to control our tongue.
b) James 3:3-4. Ships and horses are controlled by something relatively small.
c) James 3:5. The tongue also is small but it can make many problems.
d) James 3:6. The tongue can be so dangerous. It also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole person, sets the whole course of his life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell.
(Through this Second one I am very sure that I Should Not Stumble Over My Tongue, nor cause other people to stumble too)

Chris.
We should not stumble over our tongue. This is much easier said than done. We need God to help us to control our tongue so that our speech is always encouraging and edifying. God’s Grace is abundant, so surely it can reach our tongue too.
