Words have the frightening ability to change people's lives - for better and for worse. The power of the tongue is great and we should all heed how we use our own words. As these words from Proverbs remind us:
"Gracious words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones." - Proverbs 16:24
It seems that David's opponents were using the cruelty of their tongues to fearlessly attack him and his good name. It was as if he was coming under some form of physical attack.
and aim cruel words like deadly arrows.
They shoot from ambush at the innocent;
they shoot suddenly, without fear." - Psalm 64:3-4
they shoot suddenly, without fear." - Psalm 64:3-4
How can we use our words to bring life and not death?
Living in Grace
