Actions For Things Well Said

Justin Baker • November 10, 2022

We know of things that are well said but not well done. James said that the tongue can no man tame. We are living in a day where actions need to be apart of our words.

Our Fire-starter thought is actions for things well said from Job 27. 


We live in a day and hour where people talk with no action to their words. It is like it means absolutely nothing to them if they say something and do not do it. 


Job is making a statement in verse 4 about his mouth and that is he would not sin with it. Job chapter 2 states that he sinned not with his lips. 


What about our tongue?


I would say

 1. Our tongue gets us in more trouble than anything else

We speak alot of times without thinking 

2. More than once we all have sinned with our lips

Lying, telling dirty jokes, gossiping. 

3. Our tongue is a weapon that once it releases its bullet you cannot return it

 

Please remember you cannot return what you have shot. 


If you shoot bad words or bad language to man you ultimately have shot them at God. May we remember that our lips and tongue need to be maintained in the right way.


Also don't just say you are going to do something put feet to your mouth. 


Hope you have a great day. 


Job 27:1-23 KJV

Moreover Job continued his parable, and said, [2] As God liveth, who hath taken away my judgment; and the Almighty, who hath vexed my soul; [3] All the while my breath is in me, and the spirit of God is in my nostrils; [4] My lips shall not speak wickedness, nor my tongue utter deceit. [5] God forbid that I should justify you: till I die I will not remove mine integrity from me. [6] My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go: my heart shall not reproach me so long as I live. [7] Let mine enemy be as the wicked, and he that riseth up against me as the unrighteous. [8] For what is the hope of the hypocrite, though he hath gained, when God taketh away his soul? [9] Will God hear his cry when trouble cometh upon him? [10] Will he delight himself in the Almighty? will he always call upon God? [11] I will teach you by the hand of God: that which is with the Almighty will I not conceal. [12] Behold, all ye yourselves have seen it ; why then are ye thus altogether vain? [13] This is the portion of a wicked man with God, and the heritage of oppressors, which they shall receive of the Almighty. [14] If his children be multiplied, it is for the sword: and his offspring shall not be satisfied with bread. [15] Those that remain of him shall be buried in death: and his widows shall not weep. [16] Though he heap up silver as the dust, and prepare raiment as the clay; [17] He may prepare it, but the just shall put it on, and the innocent shall divide the silver. [18] He buildeth his house as a moth, and as a booth that the keeper maketh. [19] The rich man shall lie down, but he shall not be gathered: he openeth his eyes, and he is not. [20] Terrors take hold on him as waters, a tempest stealeth him away in the night. [21] The east wind carrieth him away, and he departeth: and as a storm hurleth him out of his place. [22] For God shall cast upon him, and not spare: he would fain flee out of his hand. [23] Men shall clap their hands at him, and shall hiss him out of his place.
