Communications experts tell us that the average person speaks enough words to fill two books of 300 pages each month- 24 books each year. That’s a lot of words- a lot of “connecting.” Unfortunately , with all our words, James, writing in the New Testament reminds us, “out of the same mouth comes praise and cursing.” We need to remember the “wonderful words of life” found in the Bible. There, God promises to forgive, cleanse and fit us for heaven -“If we confess with our mouths that Jesus is Lord, and believe in our hearts that God has raised Him from the dead…” This is the promise to “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord, “Surely, there can be no better way to use our words than call out to the Lord for His blessings. We are exhorted in an old song, to “count your blessings, name the one by one, and it will surprise you what the Lord has done.” Let’s use our words to call on the Lord, and then to praise Him for all His blessings.
