Proverbs 10: 11
“The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life” (NIV)
As long as the pump is turned on and connected to a power source, a fountain gushes forth continually. Day and night. Recycling water and gushing forth.
My mouth is a fountain of life – I will speak life continually. Day and night. My source is the word of God, and I am powered by the Spirit of God.
I’m making a conscious effort to speak life – words that edify and build up both me and those who hear me. Life giving words are the words of God – for Jesus said: the words that I speak to you are Spirit and Life.
This fountain in my mouth will not be powered by my emotions – those are pretty unreliable! However I feel, whatever the situation, the fountain in my mouth will bring forth life.
I pray the Lord gives you the grace to make this a conscious decision as well.
Have a blessed week. May the Lord’s peace fill your heart and life this week and beyond. It is well with you!
