Morning Bible and Coffee

Hello, this is Sarah.

The verse from my heart today is from Proverbs 18:21,

“Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.”

The latter part of this verse can be interpreted as the person who chooses their words wisely shall be blessed.

To me this verse speaks of being positive, which is life, or negative, which is death, with our words. There is a tendency for me to speak negatively about someone just to make myself look better and more acceptable to others. However, not only do those words tear that person down, but also they are destruction to me.

A positive word or praise can lift one’s spirits, and it’s catching. Not only is it life to them, but that word will also be life to me. I want to follow in the footsteps of the psalmist David when he’s speaking of God,

“And my tongue shall speak of thy righteousness and of thy praise all the day long.” Psalm 35:28

Be blessed today and think positive.
