Words are important. I think we know that well. I am all about speaking encouraging life filled words, but you probably know that already. ☺ That’s why I started writing dailyeword so many years ago. In I Tim 6, verse 3 – 5, Timothy talks about the importance of wholesome words. The word wholesome actually means good, health giving, and nourishing. What kind of words come from your mouth? Would you say people feel nourished by the words you speak? Probably a lot of us speak lovely words in public and to people we don’t know, but to our spouses or our kids, something other than wholesome words come out. The ones we love the most should really hear the best words. How can we have a more godly mouth. Godliness looks like this according to I Tim 6: it isn’t proud, not envious, not filled with strife or disputes, and is filled with the truth. Our mouth can be evidence of the spirit filled life. We can hold our tongue when necessary. We can speak truth. We can appreciate others things, without being envious. And most of all, we can dispel strife and disputes, by not engaging in the banter of slinging mud back and forth. Our lips can bring life! The words we speak can be wholesome! Why not start today, monitoring how you speak and keep a bridle on your tongue!
