Psalm 39
The tongue is a small part of the body but a very important part. It is an instrument of opposite reactions.
In James 3:9 it tells us the breadth of the gap that the tongue can lead us into. With the tongue the highest ideal we bless God and yet we can sink to the depths by cursing men.
We, like the Psalmist struggle to control this small part of the body for if it is used too freely we may commit a sin, we may hurt someone we care for or maybe damage a brother or sister in the Lord or hinder another in their search after God. However difficult, we must strive to control our tongues for our own spiritual growth and fruitfulness.
