From the same mouth come blessings and cursing. My brethren these things ought not be that way. James 3:10
What comes out of our mouth? Do we praise God and turn right around and tear someone down or speak negatively? God says it shouldn't be that way. When I read this verse God really spoke to me about this. One of our jobs as a Christian is to encourage people and help lift them up. How often do we do that in a days time? Once, twice, or maybe three times if I am in a good mood? We need to make it our goal to encourage someone each day. There are so many hurting people around us. We don't have to go outside of our normal routine to see someone that could use an encouraging word. The devil is on attack! Friends are hurting, families are splitting and neighbors are in need. Let's live outside the label this world has placed on Christians. Let's not just go to church and play the part! Let's be a person who follows the Holy Sprirts leading everyday of our lives. Let's change what the devil has done to our churches and families. Let's ENCOURAGE someone today.
So what comes from your mouth? Is it something u need to change? If so pray about it and let God help you tame your tongue this week.
Dear God,
Help me to tame my tongue. We get so caught up in our world and the way our society works and views things. Help us to take our lives and the words we speak back to what your book says and use that as our standard for living. Help me to encourage someone today. Thank you for your saving Grace. Thank you for sending your precious perfect Son for my sins. I ask you to forgive me where I have use my mouth for lifting you. In Jesus Name. Amen
