Our Words Should Heal, Encourage & Build Others

 Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart Be acceptable in Your sight, O Lord, my strength and my Redeemer - Psalm 19:14.

         There is power in the words we speak. Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit - Proverbs 18:21. Let us control the words that we speak by carefully using them. The one who has knowledge uses words with restraint - Proverbs 17:27. Whoever guards his mouth and tongue keeps his soul from troubles -Proverbs 21:23.

Heal others

         Let our words be gracious and bring healing to others. Gracious words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones - Proverbs 16:24.

Encourage others

        Let us be careful that our words do not depress or crush the spirit of others. Instead our words encourage others. The soothing tongue is a tree of life, but a perverse tongue crushes the spirit - Proverbs 15:4.

Build others

            Let our words build others and be helpful to others. Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen - Ephesians 4:29.                                                 

  

PRAYER: Dear Lord, Let our words build others, encourage others and bring healing to others. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
