We are born in a world dependent on earthly parents or caretakers of our growth and an initial component in pieces of who we are and the conviction in what is said, with the morals of opening the perfect door to a better path. Most have cried or made noises filled with emotions, before gradually learning letters and numbers. At a certain age, we are enrolled into classes to obtain higher learning. In James chapter 3, verses 7-12 (KJV) the Bible says, “For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed of mankind: but the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison. Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God. Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be. Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter? Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? either a vine, figs? so can no fountain both yield salt water and fresh.”
James wasn’t much different than students when following Christ. He had to leave a place where he knew what to expect and had to change in ways to improve himself towards the desired outcome. Information is constantly being processed in our brains from the constrictions or freedoms within our hearts. A thought that produces transgression in a form that it isn’t meant to build, will eventually become a means to fail. All the beasts that were tamed by men, but the tongue cannot, still reveals a direction to receive the ability to become more proficient in recognizing problems, while receiving understanding of how, when, who, where, and why. Questions like, “how does this keep happening”, or “when it’s more likely to happen”, or seasons of life. We ask, “who are the kinds of people” that share the same dreams as us and have the pursuit to help one another achieve, or “where to find the accessibility of creation” instead of destruction.
James chapter 3, verses 13 – 18 (KJV) also says, “Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom. But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth. This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish. For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work. But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.” The writings of James are compatible with the intel received from surveillance footage against our adversaries before they come up against us. The truth is also understanding in ourselves the specifics of which people imbue the spirits of a hurdle or a stumbling block.
