DAY 325
Faultless in Speech, a Complete Person
기원후 1세기
ORIGINAL
εἴ τις ἐν λόγῳ οὐ πταίει, οὗτος τέλειος ἀνήρ, δυνατὸς χαλιναγωγῆσαι καὶ ὅλον τὸ σῶμα.
📜 THE VERSE
We all stumble in many ways. If anyone does not stumble in word, he is a complete person, able to bridle the whole body.
❓ TODAY'S QUESTION
Do I master my speech, or does my speech drag me around?
📝Reflection
James calls the one who can master speech a complete person. If you can control the smallest, fastest thing—the tongue—you can control all the rest. He first admits, himself included, that "we all stumble." He is not demanding perfection but naming the hardest point. The tongue is the body's smallest muscle yet the hardest to govern. Grip that one, and you grip the reins of the whole life.

Today, delay by three seconds the first word you blurt when emotion rises. Those three seconds are the reins of the whole body.
