BIT & BRIDLE
Ps 39:1 I said, “I will watch my ways, so that I don’t sin with my tongue. I will keep my mouth with a bridle. WEB.
Jam 3:3 When we put bits into the mouths of horses to make them obey us, we can turn the whole animal. NIV.
To control the direction of a horse we put a bit and bridle upon it. The bit goes in the horse’s mouth and the bridle comprised of a head set and reign’s is attached to the bit; so when a rider wants the horse to go left they pull on the left reign which applies pressure to the bit signalling to the horse which way to go.
Scripture teaches us that the word of God acts like a bit & bridle and as we respond to the pressure of that word by speaking it out, it will control the direction of our lives. So how will we know when to speak out (confess) God’s Word. It works like this; When the truth of the circumstances around us contradict the truth of God’s Word, we are to choose to speak God’s truth.
An example: Because of foolish decisions we go into debt. We confess our wrong to God and receive His forgiveness and grace. We now have a choice to either speak God’s Word of provision or speak the negative words of our situation. Remember it is our words that operate the Spirit realm for good or bad. We have the power in our tongue to speak life or death. As we hold to speaking God’s word despite the contrary circumstances and pressure to capitulate we will over time see God’s provision; and understand that the word’s of our mouth have directed the course of our life.
Meditation Point: Speaking & holding to God’s Word despite contrary circumstances will bring breakthrough in our lives.
