What we plant in our hearts, will be what comes out of our mouths. And what we speak, that is who we become – that is the direction in which we go.
James speaks of the tongue. He says the tongue is like the rudder of a ship. Ships which sail on vast oceans are “driven by strong winds, but they are still directed by a very small rudder, wherever the inclination of the pilot desires.” (James 3:4)
That rudder gives direction to the ship. The tongue is the same. What proceeds out of our mouths, gives direction to our lives. And friends, what comes out of the mouth, comes out of the heart. And what comes out from there, gives our life direction. Be careful what you plant in your heart.
