James 3:1-12 is the best concentrated source of wisdom about the tongue in the entire Bible. God spoke the worlds into existence, worlds much greater than generations upon generations of people even could conceive. Speaking is important for each of us as well I believe. Jesus asked questions of people who wanted to be healed to which He already knew the answers. They had to speak back. Speaking brings life to words of the speaker. Words are powerful, more than I believe any of us realize. Notice how many times we read that God says in Genesis. I want to do as God says, but in the effort to be light hearted and humorous I often speak nonsense, I suppose to relieve tension. Sometimes excuses are also reasons.
