Please meditate on the following verses concerning the words of your mouth...

Proverbs 13:2, 3  "A man shall eat good by the fruit of his mouth:  but the soul of the transgressors shall eat violence.  He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his life:  but he that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction."

Proverbs 16:24  "Pleasant words are as an honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones."

Proverbs 18:21  "Death and life are in the power of the tongue:  and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof."

Proverbs 21:23  "Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue keepeth his soul from troubles."

We as believers must learn to lean the entire human personality on God in Christ Jesus.  This must be done with absolute truth and confidence in His Power, His Wisdom, and His Goodness.

Many of us could walk in peace if we would quit talking in such a negative fashion.  Often times we hear people saying destructive words such as "this is driving me crazy" or "I think I'm losing my mind."  As we say any negative words, we are opening ourselves to trouble.  James 3:2 says that we can control our whole body if we will not offend in word.  We need to understand that the speech center is located in the brain and the brain sends out our words to every nerve in our body.

Please meditate on the following verses concerning the words of your mouth...

Proverbs 10:11, 32 - "The mouth of the righteous man is a well of life:  but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked."

Proverbs 12:13,14,18,22 - "The wicked is snared by the transgression of his lips:  but the just shall come out of trouble.  A man shall be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth:  and the recompence of a man's hands shall be rendered unto him.  There is that speaketh like the piercing of a sword:  but the tongue of the wise is health.  Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord:  but they that deal truly are his delight."

On Mother's Day, May 8th, 2005, my mother, Sue Campbell, went to be with the Lord. She was 89 years of age and had enjoyed a happy and fruitful life. Many have said, "I am so sorry that she had to die on Mother's Day." My granddaugher, was only ten years old at the time and she said, "It is alright because she was the grandest mother of all!"

Mother graduated from college when she had four children. She served as a pastor's wife for 50 years and helped countless couples and women to find a strong faith in the Lord. People were drawn to her by her magnetic smile and the joy of the Lord that filled her life.

When Mother was eleven years of age, Jesus appeared to her in a vision as she made a public declaration to receive the Lord into her heart. This life changing experience happened to Mother in her little country church. From that moment on, she never turned away from the One who gave her new life!
