We are walking in today: Weekend Meditation--30 Day Tongue Fast, the Harsh Tongue Day 16
Teaching from the book: 30 Days To Taming Your Tongue by Deborah Smith Pegues
Witness harden throughout the Bible: H7185 qashah spelled qof, shin, hey--to be hard, be severe, be fierce, be harsh
Nehemiah 9:16 But they and our fathers dealt proudly, and hardened H7185 their necks, and hearkened not to thy commandments
Torah: Exodus 7:3, Deuteronomy 2:30
Prophets: Jeremiah 7:26, 19:15, Nehemiah 9:17
Writings: 2 Kings 17:14, 2 Chronicles 36:13, Proverbs 28:14, 29:1
Nehemiah 9:29 And testifiedst against them, that thou mightest bring them again unto thy law: yet they dealt proudly, and hearkened not unto thy commandments, but sinned against thy judgments, (which if a man do, he shall live in them;) and withdrew the shoulder, and hardened H7185 their neck, and would not hear.
Proverbs 15:1
A soft answer turneth away wrath, but grievous words stir up anger.

Learning how to tame the tongue has been a long journey but adventurous and very, very informative. Looking at this harsh tongue reminds me of the borderline between being blunt and straightforward which I don't see the difference between the two. Both are still rude in a sense, yet it's still a lot of these different types of tongues. Thinking that it was okay to be straightforward and assertive…. “Say it with your chest”!!! Just get the job done!!! No matter how it comes out--but seriously even in the Kingdom, we're told to govern ourselves accordingly towards our brethren. Some people are taught with the type of leadership skill that enables and to get it done no matter what the cost. Even in our life situations, work situations or just any situation we encounter--we are to govern ourselves accordingly to walk as Kingdom citizens. Not just say any old thing that comes out to mind, right of our mouths just because it feels right. In this process of taming of the tongue, the Most High has revealed, the most wicked and deceptive of ways to use the tongue. As well as the most effective way to use the tongue for the kingdom.
When you really think about it, there is never any justification for being harsh or unkind in our communication. If we claim that God is our Father, we won’t practice such behavior either. We will deliberately choose words that are warmhearted, understanding, and sympathetic. As a steward of the grace God has extended to us, we must, in turn, extend that same grace to others. We must cultivate the habit of speaking kind words especially to those whom we feel may not deserve it—isn’t that what grace is all about?
The Bible says:
Psalms 15:1 A soft answer turns away Wrath.
Ephesians 4:29 Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.
James 1:19-20 19 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath: 20 for the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.
Proverbs 12:18 There is that speaketh like the piercings of a sword: but the tongue of the wise [is] health.
Proverbs 15:18 A wrathful man stirreth up strife: but [he that is] slow to anger appeaseth strife.
Ephesians 4:32 And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.
James 1:19 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:
Colossians 3:8 But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.

Matthew 5:43-48 43 Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. 44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; 45 that ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. 46 For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? 47 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so? 48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
Ephesians 4:15 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, [even] Christ:
1 Corinthians 10:31 Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.
Matthew 5:21-22 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment:
Romans 12:21 Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.
Romans 8:1-3 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. 2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. 3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:
Hebrews 12:14 Follow peace with all [men], and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:
Proverbs 16:32 [He that is] slow to anger [is] better than the mighty; and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city.
Psalms 103:8 The LORD [is] merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy.
Today's Affirmation: I open my mouth with wisdom. The law of kindness is on my tongue.
