Day 4: The Power of Words
Read it: Genesis 1:1-3, Proverbs 12:18, 13:3, 15:1-4, 18:21, Matthew 12:36–37, James 1:19-20, 3:5–6, Ephesians 4:29
Live it:
Our words have the power of life and death. Wow, what a powerful statement! Why are there so many different scriptures to read today? Since our words are so powerful, we need to make sure we are feeding ourselves with words that speak life into us!
Listen to the scripture, apply them to your life, but also listen to those that you lead. Andy Stanley said, “Leaders who don’t listen will eventually be surrounded by people who have nothing to say.”
I want to be surrounded by people who lovingly encourage me, lift me up, and give me the feedback I need to hear. But, I have to model it to those I lead. Do your words speak life into others, or do they speak death?
Ps. James
