Thought For Today – December 16
Eat Your Words!
Would you like to eat your words?
Are the words and statements which come from our mouths food for
thought and edifying to ourselves and others, or are they poisonous
and destructive of ourselves and others? Do the words that proceed
from our mouths add health and vitality and strength for those who
receive them? The words that come from our mouths are only the
aroma, as it were, or the smell of that which actually dwells within
us. If in our heart there is produced the fruits of the Spirit of
God by the presence of the Holy Spirit within us, then our words
which proceed from our mouths will be a sweet savor, or a sweet smell
to the Lord. They will be uplifting to ourselves, positive in
nature, and glorifying and pleasing to God. Our conversation, and
our words paint a picture of that which we actually are on the
inside. The words and statements which come from our mouths not only
feed ourselves, but others around us as well.
We are and become that which we
say we are. We believe that which we say we believe. We can do that
which we say we can do. We have that which we say we have. Our
statements and words determine our success or failure in life. Our
words feed us.
“A man's belly shall be
satisfied with the fruit of his mouth and with the increase of his
lips shall he be filled. Death and life are in the power of the
tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.”
Proverbs 18:20, 21. “Doth not the ear try words, and the mouth
taste his meat? Job 12: 11. “But I say unto you, that every idle
word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day
of judgment . For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy
words thou shalt be condemned.” Matthew 12: 36, 37.
Let us pray that the words of our
mouth and the meditations of our heart be acceptable to God our
Father who hears every word and knows every thought.
