Friday’s food for thought.
There is one power we all share the can bring life or death and it is the words we speak. It’s amazing how few words in a few seconds can send a person’s world spinning out of control for the next 20 years.
“I hate you! “
“I wish you were never born. “
“You mean nothing to me. “
“I never loved you! “
“@#$ you are ugly! “
“You will never make it. “
"I don't need you."
These words and so many others can have a devastating effect on a person’s life and we may not even know it until years later. Words are seeds when planted properly in a child can unleash a blessing to the world or misused can create evil in a world that is really hungering of life. Even words not spoken can even leave a bad effect. When was the last time you told the most important in person in your life, “I love you” or “I’m sorry”? Speak life today and watch your world change for the better, even when you don’t see the best days.

It’s crazy to imagine,
Words from our lips as the arms of compassion
Mountains crumble with every syllable.
Hope can live or die.

The words we use when we talk with ourselves are more important than the words we use when speaking with others. Today, pay close attention to your thoughts and inner talk. Start speaking words of encouragement and possibility, and transform your world from the inside out!
As a person thinks in their heart, so are they.
So...How are you?

What you say matters so be mindful of your tongue.
_
Speak life and not death... Bless but do not curse...
Build up but do not tear down... Use wisdom and consider praying before you speak...
_
Don't set a fire ablaze because of your foolish pride and careless words.
_
Remember Who you represent!
_
So also the tongue is a small member, yet it boasts of great things. How great a forest is set ablaze by such a small fire! And the tongue is a fire, a world of unrighteousness. The tongue is set among our members, staining the whole body, setting on fire the entire course of life, and set on fire by hell. For every kind of beast and bird, of reptile and sea creature, can be tamed and has been tamed by mankind, but no human being can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison. With it we bless our Lord and Father, and with it we curse people who are made in the likeness of God. From the same mouth come blessing and cursing. My brothers, these things ought not to be so.
James 3:5-10 ESV

Death and life are in the power of the tongue.. Proverbs 18:21 ESV Raise your thoughts a little higher. Use your words to inspire. Joy will fall like rain when you speak life with the things you say. #SpeakLife #TobyMac www.youtube.com/watch?v=7rK6O0YtBRY
THE ROCK CAMPUS’ weekly non-churchy event called SpeakLife. Inspirational Talk. Music. Food.
The logo that had the tree with yellow sun was a symbol of a new life blooming in brightness.
In James 3 we're reminded that our tongues are a fire. It's with one careless, unloving, hateful, or unkind word that a figurative fire definitely begins as it burns through things like TV, Social Media and sometimes in person.
_
The world often seems to look to find and spread gossip or to malign the character of the subject of the gossip. It happens quickly and it often brings destruction to the receivers.
_
Our words have more power than we think and it's words that injure us more than "sticks and stones" do. In my experience, they the harsh, hateful, unloving, and unkind words spoken stay with you longer and take longer to heal than say a physical bruise does.
_
If we know our words are so destructive as God's Word says, then why aren't we more careful with the words we choose? One answer is because, we're not perfect at following Jesus and need the work of The Holy Spirit in our lives to grow in the grace and knowledge of Him. We need Him to help us choose our words wisely and also help us to close our mouths more often than not.
_
In Ephesians 4, we're told to speak words that build one another up. The question is, do we want to be different than the world and seek to honor God and build others up or not?
_
Lets also remember Proverbs 17:28 where we're told that even a fool is considered wise if they keep silent. So, let's keep all this in mind as we seek to honor God in word and deed including seeking to build others up as we walk this journey day-to-day in Jesus name.

Anxiety and depression are definitely a battle that can wage war for our minds and hearts. It can be crippling sometimes and we need to remember that it's not a battle we can face alone. We need God, His Word, His Holy Spirit, and His people to overcome any anxiety, depression or anything.
_
When He says cast all your anxiety upon Him because He cares for you, (see 1 Peter 5:7) He means it. When He says come to Him all who are weary and heavy laden, and He will give you rest, (see Matthew 11:28-30) He means it. But the question remains...do we actually do these things are do we try to carry these burdens alone?
_
Speaking from my own experience and witnessing the experience of others, while our anxiety or depression may drive us to run from God and His Word, as follower's of Christ we need to learn to train ourselves to run to God and His Word as He is The ultimate, help, strength, healer and more that we need to over come these times.
_
We all need to speak the truth of His Word ourselves no matter how loud the opposing voices scream otherwise.
_
Are you anxious? Speak the truth of God's Word to yourself.
Is a believing friend anxious? Speak the encouragement and truth of God's Word to them.
_
May we speak a good word or The Good Word of encouragement from God's Word over our own lives or the lives of others who are facing times of anxiety and depression as He and His Word will bring joy and gladness back to us in place of anxieties and depression we face. (see Proverbs 12:25)
_
Speak a good Word!
