Pastor Bell's Words To Live By

The words that we speak are powerful and effective. We get what we say and reap the benefits of what we sow into the atmosphere. It is from the abundance of what is in our hearts that we speak. Simply put, this is what we meditate on and what we put out into the world around us. Words are very important and can set us free or condemn us. James the first of England was beheaded because he said one thing and did another. Jesus was crucified because the people said he was their king and God and the Jews and Romans disagreed with them. True words are those which are sanctioned and underpinned by the almighty God. For example Jesus said, “I am the way the truth and the life.” If this is truth then every other way leads to nowhere, every other truth is deception and any other life leads to ruin.

David, an ancient Israelite king and a song writer said this; “let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable to you, O Lord my rock and my redeemer” (Psalm 19:14). Today listen twice as much as you speak and meditate on a phrase or one word. How about “I am fearfully and wonderfully made” Psalm 139:14.
