Good morning, Champion
Use acceptable language
Psalm 19:14 (NKJV)
Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Your sight, O LORD, my strength and my Redeemer.
We have been looking at the mastering of the mouth this week, and yesterday we saw how our words have the potential to create things because we were made in the image of God. We also looked at how our tongues can create harvests and move mountains when we understand the power of the words we speak.
What a great verse this is: “let the words of my mouth be acceptable in your sight”. What sort of words do you think God finds acceptable? Do you think He is listening out for words of faith spoken out, and words of truth? Yes, both of these, but also, I believe He delights in the words we speak that bring life to our personal situations and especially to other people’s lives. When God hears us speaking words of life and hope to people I believe He likes that a lot.
It’s amazing the power our words can have on other people, isn’t it? Words of encouragement can repair low self-esteem in a life that has maybe been crushed by the harmful words of others. Words of faith, hope, and wisdom can bring a smile to the face of a person whose heart may be so heavy and confused.
Godly, well chosen, life-inspired words can build people up, give hope, bring joy, and strengthen the lives of those who hear. We may have all used our tongues to make people feel small in the past but that should not be happening now. Our words should make people feel bigger, better, and more hopeful than they were before they bumped into us.
Your challenge today, Champion, is to go find someone and encourage them with the words of your mouth, and don’t stop until their eyes light up and there mouth smiles back at you in response. Remember, God’s words made you live. Let your words cause life in someone else.
Bless you,
Andy
