Thursday, August 28: The Power of Words
Day 4: The Power of Words
Reading: Psalm 52:2-4; James 3:5-10
The psalm highlights the destructive power of deceitful words, which can "devour" like a sharp razor. James similarly warns about the potential for our tongues to cause great harm. Yet, our words also have the power to bless and encourage.
Reflect on how you've used your words recently. Have they been a source of blessing or harm? Ask God to help you use your speech to build others up and to speak truth in love. Consider reaching out to someone today with words of encouragement or affirmation.
