Plague of the tongue - Michael Rudolph Hodges - Bog

2 Samuel 23:2The Spirit of the LORD spake by me, and his word was in my tongue. What is God trying to say to us in this verse as we go on, it shall be revealed. Greetings. Often when we go to the doctor, we are asked to stick out our tongue, as to why this procedure is done, I never researched the reason. The word tongue is found close to 160 times in the Bible and this small instrument of destruction is ignored by the spiritually unlearned. As kids we often stuck out our tongue at a perceived enemy as to mock them but that has long been replaced with people giving each other the finger. James 3:8 but the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison. When the tongue is tame, we will no longer take God's covenant in our mouth and defile it. What man has perceived to be wickedness has been totally different from what God perceive wickedness is. Psalm 50:16 But unto the wicked God saith, what hast thou to do to declare my statutes, or that thou shouldest take my covenant in thy mouth? What are His statutes? In modern society, statutes are written laws passed by a legislative body.
