The Real Weapon of Mass Destruction

It has been known to kill and destroy at will. Some even say that it has a mind of its own. It has ended friendships that were once thought to be indestructible. This weapon of mass destruction has been responsible for most, if not all, wars.

The real weapon of mass destruction is not made of metal or iron. It is not fired from the barrel of a gun or cannon. It is not locked up in some safe and secure place. It is located in plain sight for everyone to see.

What is the real weapon of mass destruction?

The real weapon of mass destruction is the tongue.

Jeremiah 9:8
“Their tongue is a deadly arrow; It speaks deceit; With his mouth one speaks peace to his neighbor, But inwardly he sets an ambush for him.

Psalm 52:2
Your tongue devises destruction, Like a sharp razor, O worker of deceit

Romans 3:13
“Their throat is an open grave, with their tongues they keep deceiving,” the poison of asps is under their lips

James 3:6 & 8
And the tongue is a fire, the very world of iniquity; the tongue is set among our members as that which defiles the entire body, and sets on fire the course of our life, and is set on fire by hell. But no one can tame the tongue; it is a restless evil and full of deadly poison.

We all have the power to speak life or death. Proverbs 18:21 says that death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit.

Which fruit will you eat? Life or death.

God bless you.
