Speak Life
Speak Life
Proverbs 18:21 says, “Death and life are in the power of the tongue.”
That’s not a small thing. That’s everything.
Most of us don’t even realize how often we are the ones speaking darkness into our own lives. We replay our failures. We rehearse our disappointments. We sit in the mess of what we’ve done, and then we use our words to dig the hole even deeper.
And then we wonder why we feel stuck.
Words are never empty. They either give life or they take it. They either build something solid or they tear it down. Every time you open your mouth, you are planting seeds, and those seeds don’t just vanish. They grow. They shape how you think, how you feel, how you live.
If you keep saying you’re broken, you’ll live like you can’t be healed.
If you keep saying you’ll never change, you’ll stop even trying.
If you keep saying you’re not worth it, you’ll start to believe it’s true.
But it doesn’t have to end there.
The same mouth that can speak death can also speak life. You can declare hope right in the middle of despair. You can remind your soul of what God says, even when your circumstances say something else. You can speak grace over your past and freedom into your future.
I’ve sat across from people who can’t see a way forward. They’re convinced their story is already written in failure. And you know what I’ve learned? Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is help them change the words they are speaking over their own lives. To remind them they are not too far gone. To remind them that God’s word is louder and truer than the shame that’s been circling in their head.
And the same is true for you.
This isn’t about pretending pain doesn’t exist. It’s not about faking joy or putting on a smile. It’s about refusing to let pain or failure have the final word. It’s about choosing the kind of seed you’re planting with your words. Because sooner or later, you will eat the fruit of what you’ve been sowing.
So today... SPEAK LIFE. Speak it over your family. Speak it over your future. Speak it over your marriage. Speak it over your kids. Speak it over your own soul.
God’s word over you is better than the words you’ve been speaking to yourself. Line your mouth up with His truth. Plant life instead of death. And watch what begins to grow.
Your words are writing your story.. So make sure you’re writing life.
