Watch Your Words

Jesus Calling August 3rd

Be quick to listen. Slow to speak. And slow to become angry. The power of life and death is in the tongue. Proverbs 18:25 || I spent the greater part of my younger years getting chastised for this mouth of mine, and today’s devotional is a perfect example of why my parents worked to hard to hone that part of me.

Words are seeds, and at any point in time, we’re afforded the opportunity to either sow love and light or negativity. Last year, I had the opportunity to attend Oprah’s Life You Want Weekend Tour, and there’s one quote in particular that I recite every morning as I pray: “Lord synchronize all that is mine.” I generally relate this to my business ideas, but this morning I saw it differently.
I love the idea that instead of fighting my natural defaults (good and bad), I can instead petition for Him to guide and sharpen me to use them in such a way that all those idiosyncrasies sync up and work together so that I can be a reflection of His perfect will for my life. It’s the beginning of a new work week. Hopefully this will be useful for someone 🙂 Have a great week you guys!
