A Hebrew poet once said, “As long as a word remains unspoken, you are its master; once you utter it, you are its slave.” So true. Words are powerful.... they can change the course of a relationship...or ignite a revolution. But once they escape our lips... we are responsible for their affect on the world.
Scripture tells us in Proverbs 21:23 “"Whoever keeps his mouth and his tongue keeps himself out of trouble" Studies have shown that the average person speaks around 13,000 words per day... that’s a lot of opportunity to make mistakes! But it’s also a tremendous chance to share love, grace, encouragement, and, most of all, the Gospel. Today as you have conversations... choose to be verbally intentional. Think through each syllable... weigh out each phrase.... And remember, you can’t take words back... but you can make them count for Christ.
