God Himself demonstrated this fact when He created the universe. He merely spoke and things became. When He created man, He fashioned a creature in His image and likeness giving Him dominion over the earth. One of man's first assignments was to name the creatures of the earth. Whatever Adam called the being, that is what it became known as.
Our words hold power. Many people recognize what positive speaking and thinking can do for a person's outlook, behavior, and destiny. How much more can be accomplished through speaking the Word of God!
I often remember the story of Abraham when God challenged him to sacrifice his only son. Abraham had waited years for Isaac to be born. Then God asked him to give him up as a test of Abraham's love for God.
In the midst of facing his greatest heartbreak, Abraham's mouth stayed in faith. Even as his son inquired where the animal was for the sacrifice, Abraham merely stated, "The Lord will provide the lamb for the offering." (Genesis 22:8)
He didn't sink down into fear or despair. He didn't rail in anger. Abraham stayed in the position of faith down to his very words. And God honored Abraham's faith-filled words by providing a ram in the bush sparing Isaac's life. (Genesis 22:13)
How often do we allow pressures, trials, and concerns to cloud our speech? When we go through trials, do we continue to speak the Word of God? Do our mouths consistently reflect the God that we serve?
Don't allow your circumstances to circumvent your positive speech. Stand in faith believing that God will do what He said and speak His words of life. Your very breakthrough might depend on the words that come out of your mouth!
Verse of the Day: The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable: but the mouth of the wicked speaketh frowardness. Proverbs 10:32
