Death and life

Proverbs 18:21 kjv. "Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof."  We speak every day to someone, and what comes out of our mouths will produce life or death. It's powerful. This mouth of ours can make a child laugh or cry. It can bring joy to those around us, and healing to a heart that is hurt. We have to be watchful of what we say. We can even speak doubt over our own lives, which only brings death. Blessings and curses proceed out of the mouth. James 3:8-10 kjv. "But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison. Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God. Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be." Only the Holy Spirit can tame the tongue, because the Holy Spirit speaks of Christ and His goodness. There is no evil in a tongue that is under the  control of the Holy Spirit, but there is life. We shouldn't be speaking as the world speaks. We are God's Children, and the Holy Spirit will teach us how to speak as the Father speaks. Be careful, and be wise. Think before you speak, and bless some one with the power of your words. Pray that the Lord put a watch over your mouth today.
