We have all seen pictures of a volcano with lava pouring out of the top, running down the sides or spewing into the air. We all know that it is TOXIC to be around an active volcano when it is erupting.

What about the words that come out of your mouth? Are the words you use on yourself or others, TOXIC? Now just think about this for a minute…. hmmm.

I have found myself saying things like I’m fat, I don’t like my hair, there’s more wrinkles on my face, blah, blah. blah! My sweet husband immediately rebukes the words I am saying, and he is right!!! He tells me that we are to speak life to ourselves, as well as others AND he’s right!

So, if I am talking to myself like that, are my thoughts about others similar? OMG! I hope not!

It says in James 3:6 NIV, The tongue also is like a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole body, sets the whole course of one’s like on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell.

WOW! That certainly is TOXIC in my book! It means get down on your knees and repent! Ask for forgiveness and ask the Holy Spirit for help with self-control of the tongue!  It’s the only way to curb the words that come out of your mouth AND if you are praying incessantly, you don’t have time for toxic thoughts either!

“Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” 1 Thessalonians 5:16 NKJV
