Proverbs says the tongue has the power of life and death. This is the case both literally and figuratively. Think of a time when someone’s words made you smile or cry. With a word, wars have launched, heads have rolled, and hearts have broken.
The tongue is your smallest organ, but it can determine the course of your life. Do you ever think about what you say?
The blessed woman in Proverbs 31 speaks with wisdom and faithful instruction (31:26).
The things you say to yourself and others matter. Your words can lift up a stranger or tear down someone you love. Be thoughtful about what you say. Experiment with words of kindness and watch the results.
