Every Idle Word

Filed under: G2G Devotional — admin @ 3:39 pm

Who controls the words that come out of your mouth? Is it the person that just referred to you as an ignorant pile of refuse in the street? Is the person who just told you that they hate you? We control the words coming out of our mouths and Yeshua told us in Matt. 12:36 that we will be held accountable for every idle word we speak.

The word here is idle, not idol, and basically means unproductive or unprofitable. This means spoken words that are not building up or not encouraging or not inspiring. We need to start taking this warning seriously and do something about it.

We have been given the ability or anointing to create good things with our mouths and we dare to spout useless and vulgar words when we get upset or discouraged or in response to some hardship or obstacle?

Let’s look at this from a positive, what-can-I-do perspective and not so much a what I should’t do view. Start finding ways and words that build up the people around you, family, friends, co-workers. Ask the Holy Spirit to show you how these people need to be encouraged or nurtured or comforted.

This will likely take time and effort and commitment to get our mouths reconditioned to “fruitfulness” and staying away from idleness, but ignoring this wisdom from Yeshua will greatly hinder our growth as His Glory ambassadors.

In staying with a recent theme, what’s in your mouth?
