“Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength, and my redeemer.”  Psalm 19:14 KJV

“Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me” is an understatement.

In Matthew 12:37, Jesus delivers an emotional message about the power of our words, stating, “For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.” This serves as a thought-provoking reminder of our speech’s immense influence over ourselves and those around us. It underscores the significance of every word we utter, as they can bring about either positive or negative outcomes.

The concept is deeply rooted in the profound symbolism of the breath that we speak with, which mirrors the breath of life given to us, as described in Genesis 2:7. This connection highlights the significance and responsibility accompanying our spoken words, shaping our interactions and relationships.

Take a moment to imagine the power of speaking positively and declaring God’s promises. It has the potential to bring about transformation. Not only does it initiate healing within us and others, but it also has the ability to shift circumstances in our favor.

Seek God’s guidance to fill your heart with peace and bring restoration. His divine influence can help us control our speech and use it for positive and healing purposes.

“He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his life: but he that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction.”  Proverbs 13:3 KJV
