BLESSING AND CURSING
James 3: 9-10
Remember that James is speaking to believers. By grace, the tenor of the believer is no longer a spirit of bitter envy and strife. We walk after the Spirit, not after the flesh. But if we are honest, the fleshly spirit is not absent from us. It ought not to be so, brethren, but with the same tongue that we worship God, even the Father, how often we find ourselves being critical of men, who are made after the image of the very God we worship. May we mourn what we are and plead our continual need of tender mercies from our Father. Brethren, let us continually ask God for wisdom and grace to speak as we ought to speak (James 1: 5.)
