"Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they
that love it shall eat the fruit thereof." Proverbs 18:21
Because our tongues have the potential to speak words of
life or words of death, we need to take inventory of our words often. What are
you saying? What words are you speaking?
You can use your mouth to speak life. How? By speaking
words of faith. By speaking words that are kind, encouraging and gracious. By
speaking words of peace and contentment. By speaking clean, pure words. We
speak life when we use our mouth to testify to the goodness of God, when we give
Him praise, adoration and thanksgiving.
You can use your mouth to speak death. How? By speaking
words of doubt, fear and unbelief. By complaining and criticizing. By speaking
words that are rude, degrading, insulting and belittling. By yelling, cursing,
scolding, lying, condemning and arguing.
There is a saying that I am sure you have heard- "Sticks
and stones may break my bones, but names will never hurt me". It gives the
impression that words are only words and have no power to harm. This is not
true. Our words can do more damage than the sticks and stones. They wound on
the inside. They can wound so deeply that the scars from them can be carried
around for years.
Do you want to use your words to bring life or death?
Take inventory and see which they are doing. Are they the cause or the
cure?
Have a great day. We need to take inventory regularly of
our words to make sure that we have more words of life in us than of death.

Aw, this was an exceptionally nice post. Taking a few minutes and actual effort to make a
superb article… but what can I say… I procrastinate a lot and never manage to get
anything done.

Fantastic blog you have here but I was curious about if you knew of any message boards that
