Words matter.
We know it is true, but forget. Words are like bricks that pave our path. Words we speak over ourselves, over others, over our soul. One famous proverbs says, 'The tongue has the power of life and death...' (Pr 18:21) The most important words we speak, are 'true' words that God has spoken over us. Salvation itself is bound up in this. It is as if words spoken by man touch words spoken by God, and become one. Words are our 'expressed' faith, literally. Romans 10:9 writes, 'If you declare with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord,' and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.' God himself is described as 'Word'. (John 1:1) Our existence is God's spoken word, and we are 'sustained by his powerful word.' (Heb 1:3) We are told that this 'Word became flesh, and made his dwelling among us.' (John 1:14) God does not stop there. He has more words and truths to speak over your life in a personal way. He has a 'secret name' for you (Rev 2:17), and a hiding place for you. (Col 3:3; Eph 2:6; Ps 32:7) God has a universe of Grace for you to live and move in now, that even present realities cannot touch or defy. (Ps 91:7; 2 Cor 12:9; 2 Cor 10:3-5) Let God's word truly live in you, and build your own life in and through this living word. 'My words are spirit, and they are life.' (Jesus, John 6:63)
