“Minute of Meditation: God designed our tongues to be “healers””
Scientists have learned that that the human tongue has a special trait that can heal itself quicker than some other body parts. Apparently, there is a natural anti-biotic in our tongues that helps with the healing process. We are constantly taking in all sorts of potentially harmful micro-organisms, viruses, and other things into our mouths. However, God has made us so that our bodies can ward off these harmful organisms before they ever take root in our bodies.
Our tongues can be anti-biotic in another way as well. We can use our words to bring healing to others. Notice what the Bible teaches, “Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear (Eph. 4:29). How would our world be different if we used our words to heal and not hurt?
God designed our tongues to be “healers” not destroyers. How are you using your words to bring healing to others?
I am Mark T. Tonkery with a minute of meditation from the Camden Ave. church of Christ where you are always welcome.
