Words – the Key to a Better Life
"Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit" (Proverbs 18:21)
Is there really power in your words?
According to the Scriptures, the tongue has a power. Notice it says here, "the power of the tongue". Its obvious that the
power referred to here is not the physical power of the tongue as a muscle, but the power of the words it produces. I've
never heard of the word "tongue" used in relation to God Himself. Its a word used of human speech. So we can see that the
Word of God is saying that our speech is tremendously important, powerful and significant. So much so that our words are a
matter of life and death. Perhaps this is why Jesus declared, "But I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they
will give account of it in the day of judgment." (Matthew 12:36). "For by your words you will be justified, and by your words
you will be condemned." (Matthew 12:37). These declarations of Jesus Christ should cause us to sit up and take notice, and
consider very carefully what kind of words are coming out of our mouths and why. read more »
