The Mouth


After completing a 21-day Daniel fast, I was quite sad to go back to normal food.  Of course my mouth was happy, but not so my stomach, body, mind, spirit, and strength.  And, I suppose, that is one of the points of fasting: to show what member of our body is the culprit in bringing us into many troubles…our mouths.
And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell.
(James 3:6)
