THE DAILY ENCOURAGER<br />
January 17<br />
Today's Scripture<br />
“Death and life are in the power of the tongue and they that<br />
love it shall eat the fruit thereof.”<br />
Prov. 18:21<br />
WATCH YOUR WORDS<br />
Jesus said, “By your words you will be condemned and by your words<br />
you will be justified.” I have questioned myself about how many words<br />
I use in a day and the impact and the effect it brings to those who read<br />
or hear it.<br />
Have you ever thought about the power of the words that come out of<br />
your mouth? What you say can impact your future, your family, and<br />
your faith. Words can offer satisfaction, encouragement, strength,<br />
blessings and hope. But, on the other hand, words can also divide,<br />
destroy, dishearten and discourage.<br />
Today, make your mouth a fountain of life. Be slow to speak. Say<br />
something affectionate to a loved one. Seek to only speak words that<br />
are good for building up, words that give grace to those who hear.<br />
When we allow God to be in absolute control of our life the result is<br />
words that are edifying, encouraging, uplifting never depart from our<br />
lips. God put you on this earth and gave you power and authority. He<br />
told man to subdue the earth and he was to do just that by the words<br />
of his mouth.<br />
We must choose our words carefully, so we steer people in the<br />
right direction. And may we allow our words to bring blessings,<br />
encouragement, and buildup those around us and with us.<br />
Father Lord, guide us this day in our speech and conversation. May we<br />
always reflect your love, grace and peace. Amen<br />
