What is your mouths reputation?

Proverbs 16:23-24 KJV

The heart of the wise teacheth his mouth, and addeth learning to his lips.  Pleasant words are as an honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.

Wisdom enables us to teach our mouth discipline in a world of hurtful words spoke and sent to fast. Words cannot be deleted once they are received and they add to our reputation good or bad. The bible says that pleasant words are a blessing to people's soul and healing to thier body. Choose today to speak blessings and not curses to or about anyone.

A legacy of words
How we handle people with our mouth is something we all will be remembered for. How do you want to be remembered? I have been to funerals where people said "he was known for giving you a piece of his mind!" I have also been blessed to hear a room of love ones agree that "she never had anything bad to say about anyone." Even though this person was imperfect people remembered mainly thier pleasant words. This person had a teachable mouth.

I Can!

Philippians 4:13 KJV

I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

During our weekly family devotional and game night my wife and I shared a "quick attack" verse with our children as they prepared for this new school year. We told them that with this new grade level some things may be challenging and unfamiliar but their response should be "I can do ALL things through Christ which strengtheneth me."

What challenges are before you today? Do you know the best way to fight life's challenges, issues, and enemies are like Jesus did against Satan (Matthew 4:3-11); Apply defense and block with the shield of faith (Ephesians 6:16) and then attack with the Word of God!

When doubt, fear, and despair fills your heart, block with faith, knowing that you can trust in the Lord and then attack with a verse to defeat your opposition! Never forget to tell yourself: I can make it through anything in the One who makes me who I am (MSG version).

Philippians 4:13 MSG

I can make it through anything in the One who makes me who I am.
