Words of Life and Death

Proverbs 18:21

Sometimes you just want to say something even though you know it will sting the one to who it is directed or is in earshot of it. Something inside says it will feel great but in truth, it hurts us much like it hurt the one we said it to.

Strange how we tend to not say the things that would be so beneficial for someone to hear. It takes real training and discipline to be a thankful and grateful person. We tend to hold our tongues when we see someone do something good, even when we are the recipient of that good deed.

Question 1: What words has your tongue formed this week?
Question 2: What determines whether your words have life or death

Challenge: Think back on last week and jot down how many conversations fell into each category…life or death.
