Bible Verse of The Day – 11-16-23

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

An important thing we can learn in life is how to live each day correctly, by choosing the right words. Saying and doing things in the right season at the right time is something we must learn.

Can we agree that words are powerful?

Knowing what to say and when to say it will help us to make a difference in a very simple and straightforward way.

It will take disciplining our flesh, and taming the desire to want to say whatever, whenever we feel like it.

At times it will take great strength to not say a word, even though we think what we have to say will help the situation.

Stay in tune with our Helper, the Holy Spirit. He loves to guide us through these situations. Do we trust Him enough to follow?

If we want to do our best, we must follow completely, not pick and choose when we want to follow.

Is the Holy Spirit leading us to hold back today on saying certain things to those that we would love to speak out to?

If so, don’t underestimate His guidance. He knows what will work and the timing of it all. He knows what will protect us from bringing destruction against ourselves by using the wrong words at the wrong time.

I am excited about being more attentive to Him! I feel like the day has come when we are all tired of getting the same old results.

Maybe we are just tired of talking and not seeing any fruit from what we say.

It will be a new season for us when we say, “OK, Holy Spirit, guide my lips today. Help me to speak when You prompt me and to say what You put in my heart. Let me be a vessel You can move through”.

Let’s bring life, instead of death and destruction. Let our words be acceptable in Your sight, Lord!

Psalm 19:14 (NKJV) 14 Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart Be acceptable in Your sight, O Lord, my strength and my Redeemer.

Amen.
