OUR WORDS by Elaine Davenport (SUNDAY, MAY 20, 2007)

I was watching television one day; it was a show called STARTING OVER. I think it's off of television now. It was a series directed to help people who were stuck in a so called rut and to help these grab hold of the dreams. Funny how that parallels the life of a believer. They were supported by : "life coaches." It was sweet.

Before I stopped watching for a myriad of reasons, my attention was caught by a very talented woman. She wanted to be a country singer. When she received a compliment, she responded in awe of her accomplishment. By I was struck by a string of "words" I kept hearing her say. It was an expression, but she kept saying: "I could just die."

I wanted to write her a letter, I never did. I rationalized that she'd probably be offended and misunderstand my letter.

I just prayed for her.

We have to watch our words. The angels move on our words. We can best be aided by using words that speak life, Blessing, favor, wisdom and peace into our lives. Just try it. You'll be all the better for it. Have a Blessed Day.

You are taken as in a net by the words of your mouth, the sayings of your lips have overcome you. Proverbs 6: 2

"Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof." Proverbs 18: 21

"...For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh" (Mat 12:34).

A wholesome tongue is a tree of life" (Prov. 15:4)
