"Righteous lips are the delight of kings, and they love
him that speaketh right." ~Proverbs 16:13
The tongue is a powerful force. It can speak words of life or death. When we speak words of encouragement to one another, uplifting words, we are showing Christ's love to everyone we met as well as worshiping Him as we glorify His name.
When we make a choice to focus our everyday conversations on the things found in the following verse, we are worshiping our Father as we are showing respect to Him, by keeping our minds and hearts focused on His ways.
" Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things." ~ Philippians 4:8
Sometimes it's easy to let our self-will get in the way and speak words of anger in the heat of the moment. We need to ask the Father for help to speak words that would magnify His name and bring Him glory. Choose your words carefully friends. The words you speak today are seeds that are planted for future generations that will either strengthen a life or tear it down.
Make sure your everyday conversations are centered on His ways and His words. Proclaim His goodness and teach the next generations about who He is, as you worship Him through wise words that are spoken today.
I love this post, Shari. Our words can bring life or death. I want to bring life to each conversation I have.
