Let me encourage you and I to choose our words wisely. To speak life and not death. Choose to not use our words as weapons but breathe life to those on the receiving end. _I pray that God will help us do this daily for His kingdom, glory and our good!_Dea
There's that old adage we've all heard that says, "Stick and stones may break my bones but words may never hurt me"....
While we can see the intent of this saying is that words don't have power over us or can't hurt us like a bone breaking...we all know it's really not true because words stay with us longer than it takes a bone to mend.
_
Our words are powerful and if we recall...just through the power of God's Words...He spoke light into the darkness!
_
He instructs us that we can speak words of life or death.
_
We use our words as weapons sometimes. Like the flaming arrows of the enemy and sadly, these weapons connect making impact to those we come across in our lives or if we are on the receiving end...they connect with us.
_
The words wound us and others and they stay with us for a lot longer than we care to admit.
_
These words tear down instead of build up. Instead of choosing to speak words of life we speak words of death.

Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruits.
