90 Days of Wisdom: Day 43

From the fruit of his lips a man is filled with good things as surely as the work of his hands rewards him. (Proverbs 12:14)

I'm sure we all understand the importance of hard work and how diligence in our occupations brings rewards. We are rewarded with a paycheck, with promotion, with personal satisfaction, and with more influence within our companies.

Our words have the same effect. When our words are consistently negative--"I'm no good"... "I can't do this"... "you're stupid"... etc., we are speaking curses over against our success in life. Instead of speaking negative things about ourselves and others, we should emphasize the positive: "I can do all things through Christ who strengths me"... "With God's help, I'll get this done"... "You're better than that, let me help you"... etc.

Double your efforts at work, at home, or wherever you may be, by speaking positive, encouraging, affirmative words.
