Your tongue! Sharp or blunt?

-
Gracious words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones.
Proverbs 16:24 NIV
Devotion: Razor blades blade are very thin, smooth stainless sharp objects used to dissect tissues or simply cut small objects. While a hammer is a heavy metal used to break or force objects into another, make a new object of and old piece of Rusty metal.
Some tongues when used without wisdom of God, are like razor blades used to tear the heart of people, inflict deep, difficult to heal wound in the heart. This causes lasting resentment and leads to poor relationship.
Yet some others are like a very heavy hammer designed to break hearts. It's used to say the truth but in a manner to disgrace, to deride or to cause a change into desired shape. The receiver needs wisdom to sift the truth from the pieces apply it and shine.
The razor tongue can totally destroy while the blunt hammer tongue if gently used can correct. In Proverbs 15:4 the bible says "A wholesome tongue is a tree of life: but perverseness therein is a breach in the spirit".
 Dear reader when you correct, how do you use your tongue? To destroy totally (Razor) or forge into desired shape (hammer). Think about it and apply godly wisdom.

Title: When your time shall be over, you'll fly away.

Psalms 90:10  The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away. Devotional: Late music legend – Peter Tosh sang a song with this title many years ago. It came to mind yesterday while I listened to a beautifully delivered sermon at a burial. I therefore penned this devotional on same title. Do not be deceived, at a point in your life you’ll fly away.   There comes a day when the tapestry of your earthly existence is folded. The moments of struggle, joy, triumph, and trials will all coalesce into a story complete. When that time comes, the soul, unburdened by the weight of the mortal frame, ascends beyond the veil of this world—taking flight toward eternal rest.   You are not bound to the temporal; your essence is celestial.
