Wise Words: How God Can Use the Power of Your Words

People’s words can deeply hurt or deeply encourage us. Can you pinpoint a time in your life when someone’s hurtful words left a deep cut? Maybe someone’s words left a great mark of encouragement over your life, even after years of speaking those words to you. The book of Proverbs in the Bible tells us that our words are powerful and can bring life or death to those around us. Whatever is in our hearts is what will flow out of our hearts. Who are you letting speak into your life? What are you watching, reading, and listening to? Where are you spending most of your time? We can ensure our words are helpful and life-giving by being intentional about what we are building into the treasury of our hearts.
