MESSAGE

The tongue is one of the organs of our body. We use our tongue for tasting and also for speaking.

We could use our mouth to say positive words that could make people happy.

At times also, when we are upset and angry about something or a person, we might at that time say negative words. .

In Numbers 12:1, Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the  Ethiopian woman whom he had married. They were upset with Moses.  God heard their complaints.  The Lord then called Moses, Aaron and Miriam. God was not happy that Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses. 

Miriam then became leprous. But God had mercy on her and she was healed afterwards.

Also, in the story of Nabal, Abigail and David, in 1 Samuel 25: 2-38, Nabal was a very rich man. He had a wife called Abigail.

 David sent ten of his young men to Nabal to greet him, to explain to him that Nabal’s shephard were not hurt when they were with David and his men. David, through his servants then requested Nabal to give him and his servants anything that comes to his hand.

David’s servant spoke to Nabal all that David had told them. Nabal responded back harshly.

When David’s men returned and told David Nabal’s response, David told his men to grind on their swords. David also girded on his sword.  He was going to fight (against) Nabal.

Abigail (Nabal’s wife) was told how her husband reviled David’s men. She was told to consider what she would do has harm was determined against Nabal and his  household.

Abigail went ahead and begged David. David rescinded on his plan to fight Nabal. Abigail then went to Nabal.He was holding a feast in his house. Nabal’s heart was merry within him because he was very drunk. Abigail told him nothing, little or much, until morning light.

A lesson there is that Abigail restrained from probably reprimanding Nabal for his response to David’s servants. She could have as well told her husband how she helped save his life while he was getting himself drunk. She told him nothing. We can learn from here that we need to bridle our tongue. We can save ourselves a whole lot doing that (James 3: 8-10)

In the morning, when the wine had gone from Nabal, his wife then spoke to him. His heart died within him. After about ten days, the Lord struck Nabal and he died.

Death and life are in the power of the tongue (Proverbs 18:21a). The lesson for us today is to by the help of the Holy spirit bridle our tongue.

The grace to use our tongues positively,  the Almighty God shall grant unto us in Jesus name. Amen.
