Today's Verse - Ephesians 4:29 (KJV)

Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.

—Ephesians 4:29 (KJV)

Thoughts on Today's Verse...​

We can use our words to be cute. We can use our words to appear impressive. We can use our words to win arguments. We can use our words to defend ourselves. We can use our words to lie and distort. We can use our words to do many things, but God wants us to use our words to bless. So when we speak, if our words do not bless and benefit those to whom we direct them, then we are to simply not say anything. Grandma was right. "If you can't say something nice, then don't say anything at all."

My Prayer...​

Give me wisdom today, dear God, to speak words that bless my family, my co-workers, and those I meet. I want to be truthful, loving, kind, and merciful when I open my mouth and speak. May the words of my mouth be used in your service and to your glory today, dear LORD. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

Dear God, may my words be pleasing to You alone. May my heart be cleansed and purified by the Blood of the Lamb and may my thoughts be to glorify Thy name. Amen

[Briganton]

Blessings upon blessings shall come to those who have a clean heart, clean mind and pure words coming out from your mouth. Jesus loves to hear words that build up the body of Christ. Breath upon me Spirit of the Lord so I can speak the truth to lost souls we find anywhere we are.
