Daily Devotionals by Ardith Keef

 
     Do I think we should be concerned about every little word that we say? Yes!
     The Bible says that He "spoke the worlds into being". There are countless passages about the impact of words and their effect.
     Most people speak recreationally whether they know it or not. Some folks have favorite things to complain about, some love to fantasize, and others must constantly recount past events.
      What we must teach our children is that the tongue creates. Unseen things are built and torn down because of words. Obviously words are of impact beyond our comprehension, otherwise the Creator of the universe would not be named The Word.
      A fine experiment would be to carry around a recording devise all day and play it back. Would there be any value? Would there be anything of significance, or would it be spurts of dribble - worse yet, spurts of mumbling, complaining, wishing, regretting, and stating fears because of a lack of faith in a sovereign God.
     Learning to speak begins first with what we don't say. After that, we learn to agree with God, to have His Law always on our lips, and to encourage the brethren - to "preach the Gospel and herald the Truth, in season and out of season. ."
      What is your mouth for, anyway? If "the heavens declare the glory of God", then you who can issue sound, do it!
