The tongue

How true! How many times have we made statements that we wish we had not made? Have you suffered this recently? Thought spoken without the benefit of thought is trouble. Scripture says the tongue is untamable. (Ps 5:9, PS 10:7, Ps 50:19, Ps 52:4, Prov 26:28, James 1:26, James 3:6, 1 Peter 3:10) Seems like along list doesn't it? You would be surprised how many references there are in scripture. There are many that are positive but many more that are negative about the tongue. Most of our troubles are self inflicted through our voice. (Matt 15:11-18, Luke 6:45, Romans 10:10) The Lord said that it is not what we put in our mouths that corrupts but what comes out of our mouths. Guard your mouth and tongues and avoid the embarrassment it creates. 

This week is another of the images from MoonTear. This is a special one. Love the eyes and how they follow you around the room.

The copic colors used are:

This was a fun image to do. The hair on this kind of image is a challenge but fun to do.

That is it for this week. Thank you for stopping by and hopefully commenting. May the good Lord bless and keep you safe. Remember to always "Love The Details."

Psalm 33:12 to be published Posts June 21

 

(Psalm 33:12) We seem to think we are in charge of our destiny and are able to mold our path to the future as an individual and a nation. We believe we are in control of everything and have all the answers to the problems of the age we live in. A quick look at the headlines says we are in woeful disarray and out of control. Our government has chosen to push down and ignore the word of God and hide him in every way possible. "One Nation Under God" is no longer true in many respects. The headline I read recently said that the number of people who believe in God has is at an all time low. That is a sad statement but is also bourn out in the rise of crime in the world and in our country. Psalm 33:12 states "How blessed the nation whose God is Yahweh, the people he has chosen as his heritage."(The New Jerusalem Bible (New York: Doubleday, 1985) Like the nations of old that sinned and refused to honor God's word or to recognize that He is in control we find ourselves not in control, not going down a path to greater peace. Wars and enemies pound at our doors ready to carry off all they can and enslave all who think they are in charge. Our heritage is only safe with Jesus and God our father in charge. Since we are all sinners it is only by belief in Jesus, His sacrifice, that He is the son of God that we are saved. It is only by Him that we will see everlasting life. Pray for the world to be at peace and to turn to Him.

I will post some crafty things or pictures next post. I may be taking a week or so away for the blog. Remember to always "Love The Details" in all you do. God Bless and keep you always safe.
