The Tongue - James 3:2-12 (Part 2)

James 3:3-4 When we put bits into the mouths of horses to make them obey us, we can turn the whole animal. Or take ships as an example. Although they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are steered by a very small rudder wherever the pilot wants to go.

It takes something small and seemingly insignificant to turn such a large animal as a house or even a ship. We can make these powerful animals go where we desire. We can steer a ship that weighs hundreds of tons with just a relatively small rudder. Wars have been started with just the exchange of words. We fight and argue because of one small part of our body.
