Proverbs 18:21 (ESV)
Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruits.
This is a simple, yet very powerful word (s) for you today..
*Speak Life*
Solomon, the King of Israel & the wisest man that EVER lived writes these words in Proverbs, actually he wrote the whole Book of Proverbs & warns us about the power of the tongue. Today I urge you to choose your words wisely, you are either speaking death or life over yourself.
In the Spring of 2012--I had this moment with God that made me reflect on how I was using my words. I realized that although I would say life type of words for most "positive" situations, (anyone can do that) yet I was most always using death words in negative situations. I had an awe moment that I can "choose" to look for the positive (a life word) in my negative or not so pleasant situations. This might sound so elementary and you would be right in thinking so...yet it is extremely powerful, uplifting and scripture. Today I have made a lifestyle out of looking always for the positive (a life word) instead of a negative (a death word) in not only the great things that happen in my life but in also the not so great things.
You have a choice.
Speak Negative words over your life.
Speak Positive words over your life.
You have a choice.
My circumstances (good or bad) will not determine how I choose to speak my words, they will always "Speak Life". I pray today you will choose your words carefully and know that you too have a choice.
In closing know that you are so very much loved by God and He wants what is good for you. He wants to see you well and prosper in all things.
Please heed this warning in James 3:6 (ESV) it says; The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole person, sets the whole course of his life of fire, and it itself set on fire by hell.
Pray right now that God will help you say and look for a positive out of every circumstance in your life.
God wants life for you and good...
*Speak Life*
