One more quick blog for today..... I've heard one sermon on JOY lately, then several on the mouth and the power of words. God says "the power of life and death is in the tongue," and we will all "eat the fruit" of our words, aka we reap what we sow. What we dwell on and say will determine our level of hope and the direction of our lives, and I know that to be true.
To live this out is so challenging, but I'm praying for God's conviction here, to seriously get rid of bitterness, anger, harsh words, and slander -- toward myself or others or God. To purposely think on the goodness of God and speak words of life and be radiant with joy and hope... so that what I say will comfort, strengthen, and encourage others!!
"Let the WORDS OF MY MOUTH and the MEDITATION OF MY HEART be acceptable in Your sight, Oh Lord, my Strength and my Redeemer." ~Psalm 19:14
"For I live in eager expectation and hope that I will never do anything that causes me shame, but that I will always be bold for Christ, as I have been in the past, and that my life will ALWAYS HONOR CHRIST, whether I live or I die." ~Philippians 1:20
