“Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never
hurt me.” A more heinous lie has never
been perpetrated by the enemy of our souls.
The tongue has the power to kill (Pro. 18:21). By our words we can kill a person’s
reputation or self-image. Words can even
drive a person to end his own life.

“A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of
silver” (Pro. 25:11).
Once a word leaves the mouth, it is forever loosed.
Father, thank You for Your written Word. Thank You for the Living Word Jesus
Christ. We pray today for the grace to
guard our tongues, that we may give life and not death. Let every word that we speak bring
encouragement to our brothers and sisters, and in so doing, bring glory to You.
In Jesus' name.
Amen.
