Psalm 119:172<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whatever people talk about the most is what they are focused on most of the time. What we read, watch or listen to will eventually show up in our conversation. You don’t have to talk to someone too long before you start to understand where they are spiritually. Our words betray us. Especially when we are under pressure from circumstances. If your meditation is on God’s Word then that is what will come out of you when you speak. The Bible says, life and death are in the power of the tongue. So it is very important to your life the words you say. Speak life!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I will fill my spirit with the things of God, so when under pressure, my words will be God’s words.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
