Words can be very revealing. They expose the soul. Scripture says that out of the heart, the mouth speaks. Words can come back to bite us. We should never say something we don’t want the world to know.
The mind is the only vault impregnable to the world but not from God! He even knows our thoughts before they are even uttered from our mouths. We may be able to keep our mouths shut and fool people but we will never fool God.
Words can bring life or bring death. Those with regard for others take great care in the words they speak. They do not speak idly. Jesus said we will give an account for ever idle word we speak. Words can be an instrument of healing or an instrument of death. The bent of your heart will be revealed by your words.
As words are reflective of the heart, a ‘word’ issue is really a ‘heart’ issue. Change the heart and the words will change. Isn’t that the offer we have from God?
Ezekiel 36:26-27-“And I will give you a new heart, and I will put a new spirit in you. I will take out your stony, stubborn heart and give you a tender, responsive heart. And I will put my Spirit in you so that you will follow my decrees and be careful to obey my regulations.”
In order for life to flow from us, we must be sourced from the Lord, the Author of life. Without Him, our words will inevitably breed death for that is what resides in our soul without Jesus. Truth!
