The power of words

Death and Life are in the power of the tongue,
And those who love it will eat its fruit.
Proverbs 18:21

Pleasant words are like a honeycomb,
Sweetness to the soul and health to the bones.
Proverbs 16:24

...the words of the pure are pleasant.
Proverbs 15:26

Have you ever thought about the words you speak?  God created the world with his words alone.  We are created in God's image and carry great power in the words that proceed from our mouths.  I am challenged every day to speak life.  The Bible also says that from the outflow of the heart the mouth speaks.  Watch your words.  What are you words saying?  In light of the verse above, does it make you ponder what is in your heart?  I want to challenge us to really think about each word proceeding from our mouths.  Make those words be full of life and watch how the world around you changes!
