What words are you taking to heart? Are you living based on God’s Word or people’s words? People have a lot to say. They can say words to encourage you or they can say words that break you down. What words are you allowing to impact your actions and your reactions.
One of the things we must first understand is the fact that there is power in words. God used words to create the world. It is His Word that is comprised of His Words that we should be living by. Words are powerful and we have to fully understand the impact we can make by just speaking God’s Word.
So often in life we take people at that word. We allow what people say to influence our actions and to cause us to react. What a person says can make us happy or it can make us sad. It can cause us to be calm but it can also bring about anxiety and feelings of anger. Words influence us. We just have to make sure we are being influenced in the right way.
Take a moment to think about what you have said to others today. Have you spoken life to their lives? Are you encouraging them or discouraging them? Are you telling them they can do all things through Christ that strengthens them or are you leaving them to feel like they are a failure? Are you telling them about the beauty they possess inside or are you looking at the outside and telling them how bad they are?
God has given us the power to bring about change. He wants us to pray and He wants us to speak life to our lives and the lives of others. Will you do it? Will you allow your mouth to be a tool that God uses to impact and to bring about a Godly change to those around you?
SCRIPTURE MEDITATION
Psalm 45:1
King James Version (KJV)
45 My heart is inditing a good matter: I speak of the things which I have made touching the king: my tongue is the pen of a ready writer.
