ENCOURAGING WORDS

” THE WORDS OF THE GODLY ENCOURAGE MANY, BUT FOOLS ARE DESTROYED BY THEIR LACK OF COMMEN SENSE.” PROVERBS 10:21

The words that we speak are very powerful and can be used for good and bad. Idle words are probably the most dangerous because we don’t even realize what we are saying or how it is affecting others. We need to very careful when using the words we use. We should consider our tongues as loaded weapons. Our God is very clear that we should be encouraging others and not tearing them down. We need to give careful thought to each word we use. A kind word will go a long way in making someone’s day better. If we take a loaded gun and shoot it into a crowd, we are going to injure or kill a lot of people. We will ruin and change lives forever. Our tongue is no different. The words we speak can either save people or tear them down. They can help to give everlasting life or create complete destruction. It is very important that we choose our words, and the way we use them, wisely. If we continue to seek God every day in prayer and stay surrounded by His word, then we will be more inclined to be filled with the joy of the Lord. That joy will be included in the way we speak to others and help those we are around to be influenced with words of encouragement and not anger, jealousy or bitterness. We should stay in the presence of the Lord and be an encouraging influence on others. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
