The Power of Words & PBanana Chip Oatmeal Bake
Psalm 73:13-15 (nirv)
It seems as if I have kept my heart pure for no reason. It didn’t do me any good to wash my hands to show that I wasn’t guilty of doing anything wrong. Day after day I’ve been in pain. God has punished me in a new way every morning. What if I had talked like that? Then I wouldn’t have been faithful to God’s children.

As Christians, the words we speak are incredibly important. Our words have power; the power to lead someone closer to God, or the power to fuel their decision to take a step away from Him. The bedrock of Christianity is faith, yet so many Christians live by sight (2 Corinthians 5:7).
Whatever is in your line of sight might be a set of tough circumstances. Something painful, something scary, or something really difficult. And in those times, speaking about those things helps. Sharing with friends, writing about it, and bringing whatever it is out into the light is useful. But the words we choose during times of struggle show others where our faith really lies, and who we seek as our place of safety.
God doesn’t promise Christians easy lives, in fact, He guarantees just the opposite (John 16:33). But don’t forget the second half of that verse, “But be encouraged! I have won the battle over the world!”

When trouble arises in your life, how can you allow your faith in God and His promises to bring hope to others?
Pray
For God to strengthen your faith so that you can use your struggles to glorify Him.
