What did you say?


What we are putting in our bodies is important to our physical health and well  being. Conversely what we allow to come out of our mouths is AS, if not MORE, important! 

In the book of James chapter 3 we are told about the power that this small part of the body has in directing the course of our lives! Crazy right?! But what we say can create positive situations OR cause their destruction!! 

Words are the building blocks of life that can literally make or break an individual – if you think negative, you’ll most likely speak negative and ultimately act negatively – and the sad thing is many of us, including myself, don’t really realise that! 

The simplest of sayings such as forever talking down on yourself e.g. “I’ll never be as smart as them” or “I’m forever tired” (one of my personal favourite?!) or “what’s the point in trying, I’ll just fail anyway” *sigh* – well have we ever thought that we possibly fail, because we always say we’ll fail, so act like we’ve already failed – then fail? Just a thought! 

No-one likes to be around someone that wreaks negativity, they’re depressing (it’s worse than dealing with B.O)! It cannot emphasise enough that we were made with the ability to do sooo much, but we can’t just expect to get up one day and do it to a high standard without vigorously exercising the skill required. Exercise = Pain. The more you gym, the stronger and more fit you become for the task (regardless of the muscular pain along the way!). 

Remember what we say about ourselves, others, our situations and our future is VITAL to what it/they/we will be.

Psalm 19:14 “May the words of my mouth and the meditation (thoughts) of my heart be pleasing to you Lord” – Lets evaluate our oral dictionary and CHOOSE to speak life!
