Death And Life Are In The Power Of The Tongue

The power of words. These seemingly simple, insignificant things that take only a breath to say, but can build or destroy a person. Words have formed cultures, destroyed empires, and carried traditions and beliefs through countless generations. Words give us a way to navigate ourselves in the world. If we use them well, they act as a strong sail that helps us navigate life’s most treacherous storms. If we use them without thought, they can be the very vehicle that takes us to the darkest depths of pain and regret. The words we use reveal who we are. To ourselves and to the world. They can align us with our true ideas and convictions, or they can tear us into pieces of self deception and untruth. How lightly we use our words, giving no consideration to how our words affect those around us. But what could the world be if we only decided to use our words for the power that they truly have? Using them to give strength, confidence, life, empowerment, and vision, we can impact those around us to change their lives for the better. We can also use our words for ourselves differently, speaking to our soul in ways that help us to see the good in ourselves and to give grace for the bad. While using your words, remember the power of life and death that follows behind them, and speak a new future into existence.
