Death and life are in the power of
the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit – Proverbs 18:21.
The words we speak have
power. We can speak either wisely or hurtfully with our tongue. There is one
who speaks like the piercings of a sword, But the tongue of the wise promotes
health - Proverbs 12:18. For every idle word we speak, we will be judged by God.
But I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give account
of it in the day of judgment - Mathew 12:36.
It
is very important to guard our heart first as our mouth speaks out of its
abundance. For out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks - Luke 6:45. The
words we speak depend on what is filling our heart. When our heart is filled
with the word of God, we will speak praises of the Lord with our mouth. My
mouth shall speak the praise of the Lord - Psalm 145:21. Let us make our mouth a fountain of life. The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life - Proverbs 10:11.
Let
us pray for God to set a guard over our mouth. Set a guard, O Lord, over my
mouth; Keep watch over the door of my lips - Psalm 141:3. Everyone should be
quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry - James 1:19. Begin to decree and declare the promises of God. Let us start to fill our mouth with life by confessing positive things over our own life. God’s goodness and mercy will follow us all the days of our life.
PRAYER: Dear Lord, Help us to fill
our mouth always with life. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
