Power in Your Words

For the rest of my days, I will praise the Lord.  I give Him praise for the mistakes I made because it is an honor for Him to teach me such divine lessons.  I praise Him for the rain that falls in my life because without the rain I would be left in a drought.  I give Him praise for the people that plotted against me, because without them I would have never realized how good I really am.  Yes, for the rest of my days I will praise the Lord. 

Good day to you all!  Everyone has a song in their heart, but everyone does not have the courage to sing.  Everyone has a story to tell, but some people can’t find their audience.  I am praying that today you sing your heart out and that you find a listening ear.  You are God’s greatest creation!

Even a fool who keeps silent is considered wise; when he closes his lips, he is deemed intelligent. Proverbs 17:28

Sometimes it is so easy to let our words get away from us.  I will tell you that sometimes it can be easy to just say the first thing that comes to our minds. Did you know that when God made the world He did not touch anything.  In Genesis we learn that God spoke the world into existence.  The part of the story that is so powerful, is that He made us with His hands, and He made us in His image, and He gave us power in our words.  The same way that God created this universe by speaking it into existence, you too can create the universe that is around you.  You are in more control of the world that is around you than you know.  Speak positive and watch the world around you change for the better.  If you continue down the road of negative thought and words, you will see nothing but negativity manifest around you.  Start with your thoughts and your words will follow. Try to find the good in every situation and you will find yourself in the midst of good situation.  Make the commitment to change the way that you speak and you will see your world change almost instantly.

Gracious words are like a honeycomb, sweetness to the soul and health to the body. Proverbs 16:24

Dear Reader I want to encourage you today to change your language.  I know that it can be tempting to be negative.  We live in a very negative world.  I want you to shake that negativity off of yourself and start with a brand new you.  There is a blessing that is waiting on you, but you cannot receive it if you don’t think that it is going to come.  God cannot bless you if you don’t have faith that He will.  Make it a daily practice to think of good things and good outcomes to situations.  Make it a new habit of finding what is good in the things that are around you. You have nothing to lose and a whole world to gain.  You may still say the first thing that comes to your mind, but you will find that there is nothing but goodness that comes to your mind first.  I am excited about your turn around Dear Reader.  Believe in the power in your words.

You are beautiful, loved, and blessed
