Only those who live innocent lives
will be my servants. (Psalms 101:5-6; New Century Version)

It doesn’t take much.
Many a young adult has confided in me how powerful and cutting words can be. The swift destruction of demeaning words can often take years to recover from.
May I make a request? If you are older, be wise in your words. Are you a parent? A teacher? A pastor? An elder? Be wise with your words.
The lasting impact of your words can build the Kingdom, or cause a young one to stumble. Even fall.
You might not think anyone is listening to you. But that is far from the truth.
Be wise with your words. Let Life flow from your lips.
i enjoyed this FEAST–it taught me that i am most likely to assume something negative from the person who loves me most–my hubby!! How sad is that–i have some work to do there!! thank you for bringing that to my heart today, Father.
this area of my life–gossip is something God has been working to refine in my life since high school. i still don’t always win the battle, but i’m greatful for the changes He’s made. i think with saddness of the pain i have caused with my words–the friendships that were damaged–the pain i’ve caused my husband or parents, arrrgh!! then I think of His grace shown to me, through them by their forgiveness š may God continue to guard my heart and my tongue–that my words may be of encouragement to those i share life’s journey.
What pain can be inflicted on myself by perpetuating negative perceptions and allow them to run wild. Lord, GOD please help me to cast out these demons of my own design. May Your Truth be the Actual I sense, may Your view of me be the identity I perceive. Thank You for reconciliation, and healing that You initiate and complete. Help me see me as You do. Amen.
“If anyone secretly says things against his neighbor, I will stop him.”
I’m praying Lord that this will include me when I am that “anyone.” Help me to be a person of Christian integrity in the way I speak of others. Help my words to be a healing salve not fiery darts. Let the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart be acceptable to you Lord, my Strength and my Redeemer. Amen.
“Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone.” Colossians 4:6. Lord, please help me to be watchful always in every word I speak and no biases. Amen!
Wow! Psalms 34:12-14 really spoke to me today! “Do you want to live a long and prosperous life? then keep your tongue from evil and your lips from speaking lies. Turn away from evil and do good. Search for peace and work to maintain it.” What a beautiful thought to live by! I am challenged and encouraged by this FEAST today. I still have so much work to do to never speak ill of others, but I am encouraged that i no longer see what my hubby says through a negative lens! that is such a blessing! I am “working to maintain peace”. Thank you God that you can help me “guard my tongue”, my heart, my thoughts.
