From: The Secret of Happiness
By: Billy Graham

Each of us has a tongue and a voice. These instruments of speech can be used destructively or employed constructively. I can use my tongue to slander, to gripe, to scold, to nag and to quarrel; or I can bring it under the control of God's Spirit and make it an instrument of blessing and praise...Only God can control it, as we yield it to Him.

The twentieth-century version of James 3:3 says, "When we put bits into the horses' mouths to make them obey us, we control the rest of their bodies also." Just so, when we submit to the claims of Christ upon our lives, our untamed
natures are brought under His control. We become meek, tamed, and "fit for the Master's service."
