Words: They Matter


"Therefore, shall ye lay up these words in your heart and in your soul, and bind them for a sign upon your hand, that they may be as frontlets between your eyes. And ye shall teach them your children, speaking of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, when thou liest down, and when thou risest up. And thou shalt write them upon the door posts of thine house, and upon thy gates: That your days may be multiplied, and the days of your children, in the land which the LORD sware unto your fathers to give them, as the days of heaven upon earth." - Deuteronomy 11:19-21

 Dear Friends, 

 "Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life." - Proverbs 4:23  

Words in our heart. May they be good words. Words of wisdom. Words of encouragement.  Hopeful words. Loving words. Kind words.  Let these words abide in our hearts.  Yes. Words matter.  "Death and life are in the power of the tongue..." (Proverbs 18:21cf)

 When the Word of God permeates our heart, our conversation will be filled with power.  This power in the Person of the Holy Spirit will teach us how to speak and when.  The Spirit also guides us when to be silent.  

 Good words.  Out of our mouths. Posted with magnets on the fridge.  Inspirational calendars on the wall.  Reciting scriptures.  Talking about the goodness of the Lord over coffee.  Sharing a "good word" via text.  Words.  They matter.

 Jesus instructs: It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life." (John 11:63)

 Words. They matter.

 God bless, 
in Christ,
Sis. Stephanie

Help…My Help

  Psalms 46:1   “God  is our  refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” Help.  God is my Help. Always present…in trouble and in triumph.  Help.

Constantly replenishing. Help. God is My Help. God bless. In Christ, Sis. Stephanie

THE WHAT AND THE SOEVER

  Philippians 4:8 “Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things  are honest , whatsoever things  are  just, whatsoever things  are  pure, whatsoever things  are  lovely, whatsoever things  are  of good report; if  there be  any virtue, and if  there be  any praise, think on these things.” The truth is Jesus. Honestly. This is a fact. Scripture declares Him to be. The Way, the Truth, the Life. His ways are holy and just. His Word is pure. He is altogether lovely. Focusing on the whatsoever things is to abide in the peace of God. Thoughts centered on bountiful blessings. Determined to dwell on the goodness of God rather than the constant chaos perpetrated by the enemy of our souls. The What is also the Who.  He is the King of Kings. He is the Lord of Lords. Matchless in power and might. He is the Faithful and True. He holds the balance in His Hands. God weighs the intent of the heart. True Hones...
