I just wanted to share and echo some words my wife told me once before that I saw play out one morning at work. Sometime ago Trish inspired our crew to read, study and apply a change to the words we used. So we read the Joyce Meyer book and she spoke about choosing our words carefully. In the book she talked about our words having great power and that we can actually speak negativity into our circumstances. Well, I saw that play out this particular morning.
One of my co-workers forget their key fob and got so frustrated that she said, "I should have stayed home, this is a bad morning!" When I said, "Good morning!" She replied, "I'll say morning, but I won't say its good.". The rest of her day seemed frantic and frustrating. She complained more than normal, was late for meetings when normally she is early, and then she was early for a meeting by an hour. In short, her day was off!
As I sat at my desk, her words made me wonder how many times do I speak into being the very type of day that I am afraid of, and trying to avoid. I wonder how many times do I take a divine day and drag it down into the mundane because I think and speak negative thoughts.
Anyway, I know that you will appreciate this - Speak life!
L - Loving, light-filled, lively words
I - Inspirational, intentional, and Incarnate words
F - Faith-filled, faithful and The Word of the Father
E - Encouraging and Eternal Life words
Philippians 4:8 whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely,whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things
Proverbs 18:21 Life and death are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it eat its fruits.
We need to stop letting the devil steal our joy, and stop stealing our own abundance by speaking words of defeat, doubt and despair.
