The Power of Our Words

“Pleasant words are as an honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.”

Proverbs 16:24

 
Words are many times used in such a destructive and harmful way.  They are used to tear down instead of building another up.   Often times, it’s not only the words that we choose, but how we say the words that we choose.   Many times, I have been taught a wonderful lesson, that wasn’t always easy to hear, but the one who was teaching spoke with a Christ likeness that was firm and wisdom filled.  It is easy to tear another down, but the benefit of using pleasant words to build and teach another, will bring glory to God and speak powerfully to the one who is in need.

I remember after my first time of preaching (we had a popcorn preaching night on New Years eve at my home church for the preacher boys- I was forty-one years old and so I was the oldest boy!)  A man came down and put his arms on my shoulders and encouraged me with such pleasant words.  They truly were sweet to my soul and health to my bones.  I went home that night knowing I had done what the Lord had called me to do and will ever be grateful to that brother who took time to speak to me.

Our words say a lot about us.  Remember- words are not like a fishing lure that once you cast it out you can reel it back in.  Once we let go of our words there is no getting them back.  Consider your words this week and how you can bring glory to God and be a blessing to those the Lord brings into your life.
