James 3:5-6 Likewise the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts. Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark. The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole person, sets the whole course of his life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell.
The tongue is a small part of who we are yet it has great power. Who hasn’t made great boasts about who they will become or what they have already done? But just as a forest fire starts with one spark the tongue can set off a conflagration that will cause massive destruction not only in relationships but even in the physical world. Your tongue has the same power as the ships rudder. It will steer your life for better or for worse.
