THE SEED
“But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.” Matthew 12:36
The art of communication is just as deadly as the art of war. Every lie, every deceit, every hateful word, every piece of gossip that has dripped from the lips has a stain of sin. If our speech is predominately true, proper, chaste, instructive, and righteous, then it proves that the heart is right before God. If it is often false, envious, malignant and unrighteous, then it proves that the heart is wrong. The words that we speak as a whole show forth the fruit that is inside our heart, just as we can know the tree by the fruit it bears. Anyone who tries to overcome a speech issue that is ugly or unpleasing to the Lord by their own efforts is facing a losing battle. Only the Holy Spirit of Christ can go down deep into the spiritual heart and clean it up and make it aright with God.
Brethren, let your speech be ‘golden!’ Avoid offensive jibe, harsh language, coarse language, deceit, hurtful words, bitter words, boastful words and cunning words. Let your words be pleasant and as a believer in Christ Jesus. You need to be mindful of what you say and meditate upon it if you want to live a life of continued success and peace.
BIBLE READING: Proverbs 12:18
PRAYER: Let the word of my mouth and the thoughts of my heart be acceptable unto you O Lord. Amen.
