User-Posted Comments on James 3:3
The tongue is key to the life of surrender and self-discipline. Just as beasts are brought to submission by a small device, so our entire humanity is brought into submission when our tongues are under control.

What is interesting to note here is the phrase "and we turn about their whole body". James is essentially talking about the tongue and its creative ability that our understanding of its creativity has been dulled. James is saying that as little as it is , the tongue has power to completely turn about a horse which would probably be a thousand times bigger than the 'bit', from the course it is set on. This is a comparrison to how our tongues has ability to change the course of our destiny if we so rightly order its usage.
