Day 18

by Aaron & Jennifer Smith

Words Matter

The tongue

It is a small but might muscle. Your words can last generations.

Communication is a gift from God.

The words are not the only thing that matters.
Our delivery is also critical.

The tongue has the power to bring life and death.

What is the source? Love or anger in the heart. Your words are also a reflection of what your heart already believes. And only God can change our hearts.

Scriptures

• Ephesians 4:29

  Don’t use foul or abusive language. Let everything you say be good and helpful, so that your words will be an encouragement to those who hear them.

• Proverbs 16:24

  Kind words are like honey— sweet to the soul and healthy for the body.

• Psalms 19:14

  May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing to you, O Lord , my rock and my redeemer.

• Proverbs 12:18

  Some people make cutting remarks, but the words of the wise bring healing.
