Bible Verse of The Day – 10-24-23

Ephesians 4:29 (NKJV) 29 Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers.

This isn’t too hard to do when we are among those who are good-natured, respectful and carry themselves with integrity.

However, when we are around the opposite type, it can be very hard sometimes to discipline our mouth, and very easy to let something out that is not edifying or encouraging.

I pray frequently for God to help me keep my mouth under control. It is something we will likely struggle with as long as we are alive.

The words from our mouths are powerful, and the enemy knows this fact.

He will fight tooth and nail to get believers in a habit of saying things that line up with him and his agenda, which is always to bring death.

Do not eat of the fruit of death. Choose words of life!

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

If he can manipulate us into speaking words against another brother or sister in Christ, what happens?

He has managed to get two people who have the power to bring life into a situation, to do the opposite by speaking wrongfully, hurtfully and destructively.

When we speak corrupt words or tear one another down we line ourselves up with the enemy.

We need to choose whether we are going to lift up or tear down. When we lift each other up we are doing the work of the Holy Spirit, edifying one another, and speaking life into their current situation.

This is a good reminder today for us all.

Let’s take it serious and get our mouths lined up with God’s word.

Keep it clean and in a state of edification, no matter what others say and do against us.

Let us remain diligent in disciplining our tongue so we may bring grace to the hearer. Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 8-29-16

Ephesians 4:29 (NKJV) 29 Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers.

This is a good challenge for us each day; Watching our words and what comes out of our mouths.

Depending on what we are caught up in talking about or what we might be going through, sometimes words just want to come flying out of our mouth. It’s natural. We feel like saying something and so we say it.

The worst time to speak is when we are mad, upset or hurt. Maybe we think that by letting out how we feel, and having no restraints on our mouths, that somehow we will feel better on the inside. Wrong!

The flesh loves to scream and yell when it’s mad. It loves to rebel and say things that we shouldn’t be saying simply because it’s mad and angry at everything and everyone.

But here’s the truth in a nutshell; It’s not going to make anything or anyone feel better by speaking corrupt words. If anything, it will add negativity to the mess, the situation will become worse and we will feel awful afterwards.

So what do we do?

Colossians 3:8 (NKJV) 8 But now you yourselves are to put off all these: anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy language out of your mouth.

We need to pull back and choose our words and actions carefully when we are upset, angry, or going through a hard time. Even in those moments we can have control over our words. We can stop in the middle of what we are doing, at any point in time, and do what is right and speak good things… words of edification.

James 1:19 (NKJV) 19 So then, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath;

So when we are feeling like just blurting out whatever we want, because of anger or frustration, we need to be quick to listen to what God’s Spirit is speaking on the inside of us.

We guarantee you that if we truly want to know what God is saying, He is there speaking. We just need to listen and obey.

He will show us how to turn the topic around and say something good, something uplifting and edifying. And it will change the direction of the conversation and the situation for the better.
