From “Living the Word” with Pastor Su
Teaching
Our words have power. The things we say can build faith or spread fear, bring encouragement or cause discouragement. God has given us the ability to speak words that honor Him and bring life to those around us.
Many times, we speak according to what we see.
But as believers, we are called to speak according to God's promises. Even when circumstances are difficult, we can declare God's faithfulness, His peace, and His provision.
Instead of saying, "There is no hope," choose to say, "God is with me."
Instead of saying, "I will never make it," declare, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."
Let your words reflect your faith in God, because your speech reveals what fills your heart.
Today's Application
Pay attention to the words you speak today.
Whenever you are tempted to speak negatively, stop and replace those words with a promise from God's Word.
Choose to speak life, hope, faith, and encouragement over yourself and others.
Declaration
Today I choose to speak words of life. My mouth will declare God's goodness, my heart will trust His promises, and my words will bring hope, encouragement, and glory to God.
Closing Prayer
Heavenly Father, thank You for the gift of speech. Help me to use my words to glorify You and encourage others. Guard my tongue from negativity, fear, and unbelief. Fill my heart with Your truth so that my mouth speaks words of faith, hope, and love. In Jesus' name, Amen.
