Proverbs 12:25-Heaviness in the heart of man makes it droop, but a good word makes it glad.
A good Word! Is there one on your lips today? There is one in the Word of God that is able to cheer up and make glad the heavy hearts of mankind.
Words are important for they can either produce good or evil. They can either hurt or heal, comfort, uplift, tear down, mislead or redirect.
Everyone of us is responsible for the words that comes out of out mouth, be it good or evil over ourselves or others.
The call today is to "encourage one another" for we all could use some encouragement at times. 1 Thessalonians 5:11-Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.
Words can either build up or tear down. What we say can either lift up or tear down.
As Christians, we are being called to speak "good words" that build up our sisters and brothers and not those that tears them down.
The best words of all are what we call the "GOOD NEWS", the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It is the Word of God that causes us to encourage, exhort and edify each other. It is the word of God that sustains us.
A kind word of hope spoken to a hurting heart cost us nothing, therefore when the opportunity presents itself, we MUST do it!
We are reminded in this text that our words can have positive or negative affect in the lives of those we encounter on a daily basis.
Proverbs 18:21-Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruits.
A good word! Do you have one to share on today? I have no doubt for the pages of the Bible is full of them.
A Good Word! Share it today for the lost, wounded in heart and contrite in spirit need to hear what God is saying to them in this hour in which we live.
Proverbs 2:13-To do what is right and just is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice.
Remember, a "GOOD WORD" makes the heart happy and not heavy.
God bless.
