📖 “For let him who wants to enjoy life and see good days [good—whether apparent or not] keep his tongue free from evil and his lips from guile (treachery, deceit).” -I Peter 3:10 Amplified Bible Classic Edition
All throughout the Word of God, God gives us keys to enjoying “the good life”. He gives us one key in this scripture reference: He admonishes us of the importance of our words. He equates the good life with what we do with the tongue. If we want to experience good things, we must talk good. We must speak blessings over our lives. We must talk about the Word on a consistent basis. We must discipline ourselves when it comes to the words we speak. There is creative ability within our words, and we must fully maximize our words. We can’t always choose what happens to us, but we can always choose our words. Our words will change what happened to us. Our words will change whatever is negative in our lives. Proverbs 18:20 tells us that we must be satisfied with the consequences of our words. When it comes to our words, we must choose wisely. The quality of our lives depends on it.
