Like a Serpents Tongue

“Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips are our own: who is lord over us?”  Psalm 12:4

It is foolish to think our words can ever compete with the Word of the Living GOD!  Comparing ours to His is like comparing a thimble full of water to the Pacific Ocean, a blade of grass to a giant sequoia or a speck of sand to the universe!  

Our vocabulary is not capable to express in the slightest way the mind of GOD and yet He at all times can speak to ours without the slightest problem.   To put it simple is to say, “GOD is” and “we are”!  “We are” because “GOD is”.  Now GOD being “is” means He always “was” even when we were “not”!  If we “were not” while GOD “was” then GOD “is” “before us” and if GOD “is” “before us” He had to “create us”!  How can anyone other than a fool think they are smarter than GOD?

It is the spirit of Lucifer that tells us we have no need for control over ourselves, that we can do as we please and we are our own god!  But it is CHRIST that gives the victory over arrogance and self-centeredness and causes our speech to be sweet to His ear!

Like a serpents tongue

Their words hiss out.

Blinding victims with a

Flattering spout!

They coil in front

Of a listening crowd

Speaking their poison

With their mouth out loud!

But when it’s all over

And the hissing goes still.

They are empty of words

And out of GOD's will!

“Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.”  Psalm 19:14
