Words

I've been wanting to post but couldn't decide what to post about. God said "words". I was thinking about humility, but God said "words". I was thinking about vacation but God said "words". So, I guess it's words. It all started with a book I'm reading , "When to speak up and when to shut up". Hmmm. I am also going to do a word study of words. Boy oh, boy, I feel the Holy Spirit conviction coming already. I want to note that I have grown so much in this area but I want to sound even more like Jesus when I speak.


Studies show that women speak 20,000 words a day compared to men who speak 7,000. Wow! That's scary because it makes me think, what in the heck am I talking about? As I try to remember what I've said in, let's say, the last few hours, these questions come to mind..


Why did I say that?
Was that even necessary?
What was I trying to prove?
Why did I say it that way?
Where did that comment come from?


I find that honesty with ourselves is difficult and embarrassing but necessary. We have to allow the Spirit of God to do His work in us in and change us more into the image of Jesus.


If the Holy Spirit is speaking to you, don't speak, just LISTEN.

He ALWAYS has plans to prosper you and NOT to harm you.


"Set a guard over my mouth, O Lord: keep watch over the door of my lips"
