Mouth

Are your words, godly?

The biggest weapon we possess is the words that come out of our mouth. Many of the time we use words to cut, kill and pull down each other. I couldn’t have to notice that when we take the letter S off of words and it comes to the front it spell SWORD. I wonder why? But God made no mistakes. As children of God we must be so careful of what we say and what come out of our mouth, for we can either bless someone or cause them with our words. Likewise we can either bless ourselves or curse ourselves with the spoken word.

It’s no secret that the Bible told us, “Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers. 30 And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. 31 Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice. 32 And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you” (Ephesians 4:29-32).Amen. My friend it is okay to be angry but even in anger be careful of what you are saying to fellow brothers or sisters. For once a word comes and cut someone, it is hard to take it back.

The word for today is simple, seek the Holy Spirit and guard your lips against evil. Let the words that you speak be a blessing and encouragement to someone. Don’t use it to hurt each other. None of us are perfect, but we serve a God who is. He never ceases to help us in our struggles and weakness but we have to try our best to be like him and exemplify his way through love. Be blessed.
