I like what you said, “God uses our weaknesses to keep us humble.” I’m going to have to quote you on that one! That reminds me of 2 Corinthians 12:9 too which tells us God’s strength is perfect in our weaknesses.

You’re welcome, Kerry:
James is a great book — as every book of the Bible is — and of course, I have notes all over the book of Proverbs, haha.

Kerry, what’s the Proverbs 31 study? I would love to get it. Thanks! Bless you:)

I often have to stop halfway through something I’m writing and get right with God (or forgive someone, etc..) before I finish the piece. And I have many verses in Proverbs underlined, along with most of James Chapter 3!
I’ve been doing a wonderful Proverbs 31 study, and much of what we’re learning is about being a helpmeet to our hubby and building him up and not bringing him down with nagging (out of control tongue). It’s really made a difference in our marriage and created peace between us.
Thank you both for your encouragement and for your Spirit-filled companionship as we journey with our words toward our Savior.
God Bless,
Kerry

I feel the same way, Ashley & Kerry, “Who am I to teach that?” But I am learning that God uses our weaknesses to keep us humble. If I was excelling at taming my tongue I might be prideful and come off as higher than others. But when I teach on an area I am weak in or used to be, I am compassionate and can relate to those who are struggling in the same area.
Thanks for stopping by, Ashley! Great comment. God bless:)

Wonderful article. I can relate to you when you said you should be the last person writing about this topic. Sometimes I feel led to write on a message and I think, “Really, Lord? Who am I to speak?” I think it helps others be encouraged that they aren’t the only ones struggling. Perhaps that is why.

Thanks for providing the exercises too. Very creative and helpful. Blessings.

I appreciate it very much and I know exactly what you mean about having a foot in the mouth! 🙂 Almost daily I have to draw from God’s grace and strength to keep my tongue under control. God’s word is such a good restrainer!
Thanks again for stopping by.
God Bless,
Kerry

Thanks for your encouraging comment! And you’re right – the best use of our tongue is an instrument of praise for our Creator. God offers us amazing grace through Jesus, and we honor our Savior when we pass that grace on to others instead of criticizing them.

Thanks again for stopping by and commenting!
God Bless,
Kerry
