There is one who speaks rashly like the thrusts of a sword,
But the tongue of the wise brings healing.
We have the power in our tongue to do good or do bad. Our speech, according to Paul, should be seasoned with salt (Colossians 4:6). In the above Proverb we see Solomon telling us the truth about the results of the tongue. In the mouth of one person can provide healing to others when it speaks. The other mouth can hurt so badly it feels like a sword thrusting into the side. One member of the body: Two different results. The Tongue is the well of life. Out of it flow the issues of the heart. When we use our tongue to thrust and pierce others it is showing a problem in our heart. If we want to make sure we have "healing" in our tongue we have to first "heal" our hearts with God's grace. Christ heals our hearts so our tongues can bring healing to others. Allow God's grace to do a good work in your heart and He will be able to use your tongue to do a good work in someone else's life. If you refuse to allow God to do the work in your life you will eventually cause pain to others. Faith in God's grace in the heart results in the work of grace with your tongue.
