Bridled or Defiled??
The primary reason that so many peoplesβ physical bodies are out of control is because the tongue has not been tamed. If we donβt make the connection between the tongue and the body, no amount of exercise or βgoodβ nutrition will do the job of making the temple whole. Selah πβ€οΈπ
James 3:2-6 KJV
β2 For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to BRIDLE the whole body.
3 Behold, we put bits in the horses' mouths, that they may obey us; and we turn about their whole body.
4 Behold also the ships, which though they be so great, and are driven of fierce winds, yet are they turned about with a very small helm, whithersoever the governor listeth.
5 Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth!
6 And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it DEFILETH the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell.β
