The tree will make you like God. Ever since people have tried to become their own gods. How we use our tongues reflects the wisdom by which we live. The tongue is one member of our physical body, which tells more about the condition or our heart than anything else. If anyone is never at fault in what he says, he is a perfect man, able to keep his whole body in check.
Wisdom understands that it is no easy task to control the tongue.
James says only perfect people can control their tongues. We all stumble in many ways. If anyone is never at fault in what he says, he is a perfect man, able to keep his whole body in check. But when I was silent and still, not even saying anything good, my anguish increased. Wisdom is reflected, as we are willing to listen and think about what God is saying and what we are going to do about it.
