Day 38 of 365
The Power of Words
Proverbs 12:18
Proverbs 12:18
“The words of the reckless pierce like swords, but the tongue of the wise brings healing.”
Insight
Words have creative power. God spoke the world into existence. Your words don't create worlds, but they do create reality - encouraging or discouraging, building or tearing down, blessing or cursing. Every word you speak either injects life or poison into others' hearts. Wise people wield words carefully, knowing they can heal deep wounds or inflict lasting pain.
Reflection
Think about your recent conversations. Have your words brought healing or hurt? What needs to change in how you speak?
