September 24, 2012

By reading the scripture above each day you will read the Old Testament through in one year and the New Testament through twice in a year. This will change your life. Start Today!

TODAY'S SCRIPTURE 
"The tongue has the power of life and death..."
(Proverbs 18:21, NIV)

TODAY'S WORD   
, our words have the power to lift people up or push people down. We can say something to make others feel better about themselves or make them feel worse. It's amazing what a simple compliment will do. When you tell someone "You look nice today," or "Great job on that presentation at the office," or "I really enjoy working with you," those simple words will put a spring in their step and brighten their day. It doesn't take much time and doesn't cost you anything, yet with your words, you can bless their life.

That's the power God has given each one of us. Every day we should have a goal of finding at least one person that we can encourage. Let's be free with our compliments. Point out what somebody is doing right, not what they are doing wrong. There is already enough pushing people down. Let's make it our business to lift people up, to brighten their day, to make them feel better about themselves. Remember, your words are seeds. When you deposit life and blessing into others, that's what you'll reap in your own life in return!

 

A PRAYER FOR YOU TODAY   

Father God, thank You for filling me with Your life-giving power. I choose to use my words to bless others and glorify You. Show me ways to sow seeds of life into others. In Jesus' Name. Amen.

, we really do love you and we believe in you!
