Choose Better Thoughts, Reap a Better Life
This scripture clearly says that death and life are in the words we
speak. It's so important that we learn to control our mouths, but we
need to make sure we do it the right way.
I think some people try to control their mouths but do nothing about
their thoughts. That's like pulling off the top of a weed, unless the
root is dug up, the weed always comes back. You'll never control your
mouth unless you first learn to control your mind.
We're constantly tempted to think wrong thoughts, but we don't have to
accept them. We have a choice! We can purposely choose right thinking so
that we can then choose right speaking.
You can choose life-generating thoughts by hearing, reading, thinking
and talking about God and His Truth. What's inside you will find its way
outside, so when you fill your mind with good, positive, powerful,
life-giving things from God, positive, powerful, life-giving words will
naturally follow.
Prayer Starter: Holy Spirit, I want to change my thoughts so that I can
speak life-giving words. Help me fill my thoughts with Your Truth so
that my words reflect You.
