Words have power
Jeremiah 29:11 -12 (ISR)
‘For I know the plans I am planning for you,’
Declares the Lord,
‘Plans of peace and not of evil,
To give you a future and an expectancy.
Then you shall call on me,
And shall come and pray to me,
And I shall listen to you.
THINK BEFORE WE SPEAK OR TYPE
Words are extremely influential.
Far too often we create death whether by the lash of our tongue or the stroke of our keyboard without considering the consequences of our actions.
Consider the fruits of the spirit (Galatians 5:22-23), namely love and self-control.
When we say hurtful things to people whether, in person or online, we do NOT demonstrate self-control nor do we show love.
We are to be a representative of the Father no matter where we are or who we are talking to.
As we put the Word of God into action, we can’t be feeding the poor with one hand and lashing out with the other.
Scripture tells us that words can pierce like swords or it can bring healing.
Proverbs 12:18
The words of the reckless pierce like swords,
But the tongue of the wise brings healing.
