GOOD MORNING! MOST OF US SPEAK WORDS VERY FREELY. WE USE WORDS TO SAY HOW WE FEEL. WE USE THEM TO PERSUADE OTHER PEOPLE. WORDS EXPRESS OUR THOUGHTS, AND THOUGHTS COME FROM OUR INNERMOST BEING. IF WE HAVE PURE HEARTS AND WHOLESOME ATTITUDES, OUR THOUGHTS WILL BE GOOD AND WHOLESOME. THEN OUR WORDS WILL ALSO BE WHOLESOME. BUT WE HAVE OUR SINFUL FLESH TO CONTEND WITH. IN JAMES 4 WE FIND THAT FIGHTINGS AND WARS COME FROM OUR MEMBERS. WE LUST, DESIRE TO HAVE, ASK AND RECEIVE NOT, MAKE FRIENDS WITH THE WORLD WHAT SHALL WE DO? SUBMIT TO GOD. RESIST THE DEVIL, DRAW NIGH TO GOD, AND CLEANSE OUR HANDS, TONGUES AND HEARTS. WE MUST HUMBLE OURSELVES IN SIGHT OF THE LORD BEFORE HE WILL LIFT US UP. HE WILL HELP TO ESTABLISH GOOD THOUGHTS AND WORDS IN US. WE COMMUNICATE BY WORDS. WE NEED TO TALK PLAINLY SO THAT OTHERS CAN UNDERSTAND US. THERE MAY BE DISTRACTIONS THAT HINDER, LIKE UNDUE NOISE. OR WE MAY TALK TO SOFTLY OR UNCLEARLY. UNTIL BOTH WE AND THE PERSON WE ARE COMMUNICATING WITH HAVE THE SAME THING IN MIND, WE HAVE NOT COMMUNICATED. SATAN COMMUNICATED HIS IDEA OF REBELLION TO THE ANGELS THAT FELL WITH HIM. EVE SPOKE TO ADAM CONCERNING THE FORBIDDEN FRUIT. CAIN TALKED WITH ABEL HIS BROTHER AND THEN KILLED HIM. NOAH SPOKE TO HIS SONS ABOUT BUILDING THE ARK. THE BIBLE HAS MANY MORE EXAMPLES OF SPEAKING TO OTHERS, SOME GOOD AND SOME BAD. JESUS SPOKE SEVEN TIMES WHILE ON THE CROSS. SOME OF THOSE WORDS WERE VERY POWERFUL, ESPECIALLY THESE: FATHER, FORGIVE THEM; FOR THEY KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DO (LUKE 23:34). OUR WORDS ALSO HAVE GREAT POWER; LET US USE THEM WISELY. PRAY WHILE YOU THINK, THINK BEFORE YOU SPEAK, SPEAK TO FORM A QUESTION, QUESTION TO UNDERSTAND,UNDERSTAND BEFORE YOU CONCLUDE.
