Words of Encouragement

 

May - 13 - 2007

 

How important is our speech? Jesus said it revealed what was going on in our hearts. Proverbs repeatedly tells us that our words can wound or heal. The apostle Paul tells us to speak only what will benefit those who hear us. Only God can help us tame the tongue and use its power to bless. Let's invite Him into our world of speech and ask Him to take control of it as He does our hearts!

 

This prayer of David found in Psalm 141:3 is very appropriate.

Set a watch, O LORD, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips.

Let us pray.

Most holy and righteous Father, we don't want our language to ever betray you or wound your children. Please help us redeem our speech and use it to glorify you, bless your children, and speak of salvation to those who do not know your Son.

In the name of Jesus we pray.

Amen.
