Words

Anything can be pushed to an extreme which renders it absurd. However, don't throw out the baby with the bathwater. The words we speak are powerful. God created the planet with words. Jesus calmed the storm and raised the dead with words. Kings lopped off heads with a word.

You get the idea. What do the words that spill out of you say about what you believe? They say more than you think. We really do leak out what we are full of. Are your words betraying you? If so, you may need to put a guard on your mouth. Speak words that build up and bring life. Find the good and the positive in your situation and bring it to light with your words.

Don't run to the other extreme either. Life happens. Things break. We live in a fallen world. These things need to be acknowledged, addressed and discussed. After a good rant, turn the tables and declare, "...but God!" Life is lived in the tension between the extremes. Speak life today!

God, who gives life to the dead and calls those things which do not exist as though they did. Rm 4:17
