       I also want to note verse 9 and 10 in James, which say, “With it [the tongue] we bless our Lord and Father, and with it we curse people who are made in the likeness of God. From the same mouth come blessing and cursing. My brothers, these things ought not to be so” (ESV). So, we see that we need to watch what we say, and I think it is good when we try to focus on saying positive things—things that build others up—and try to be levelheaded and give people the benefit of any doubt. But Satan will also use other people to bother us, both people who are troubled themselves and even our friends, but utilizing their weaknesses. Remember, often there is more going on than what you see with your eyes. If you’ll remember in Acts chapter that Satan sent a servant girl to follow around Paul and Silas, and the Bible tells us the Paul became really annoyed by this (Acts 16:18). Satan was trying to provoke a reaction in Paul, which in this case what a good action, but nonetheless Satan used it to get Paul and Silas locked up in prison in Philippi.
