Proverbs 18: 20 Words satisfy the mind as much as fruit does the stomach; good talk is as gratifying as a good harvest. 21 Words kill, words give life; they're either poison or fruit - you choose.
Sometimes we need to spy on the words we have been speaking, before we get frustrated at what we are seeing. Be mindful of both the outbursts we have and the things we have spoken quietly.
The words we are speaking are consistently affecting the way we live. Every confession will either direct or confuse the lens of your life. Each declaration will add depth or distortion.
We tend to be focused with our "prayer words," but what about the rest of the time. We need to be more deliberate about what we are saying everyday, so we can avoid the disasters and detours that sometimes our own confessions have been incubating unchecked.
The Bible says we are to put a guard in front of our mouth. I know it can be hard, especially if you use a lot of words each day, but your confession matters. Be mindful that how you speak about it will change your perspective of it, for better or worse.
Words matter and they have a lot more power than we often realize. So let's "spy on our words" and take a little time to check the confession before you start trying to adjust the situation. Line up your words with His (Jesus) word. Let your confession be faith filled and your perspective will become more God filled.
