What you say matters
Proverbs 18:21 says “Death and life are in the power of the tongue…” (NKJV)
Your words being able to create death or life is powerful.
Your choice of words and the things you speak have significance both for your life and everyone around you.
You can tear down or you can build up
You can wound or you can heal
You can ensnare or you can liberate
You can destroy or you can restore
What you say is up to you
What are you saying about yourself? What are you saying to your family? Your friends? Your neighbors?
Think about whether you want to create LIFE or DEATH. And use your words accordingly.
Words kill, words give life; they’re either poison or fruit – you choose.
The Message Bible
Your words are so powerful that they will kill or give life…
