I made a discovery
That has helped my life
It has blessed my soul
And lessened strife
It is one of the treasures
From Christ of the Ages
Awaiting discovery
As we browse sacred pages
It is wisdom profound
Yet simply stated
Packaged concisely
Timeless, undated
It helps us be mindful
Of the words we speak
Keeping our vessel
From springing a leak
It acts as a rudder
That steers the ship
Avoiding the shoals
Lest we dare slip
We see no less
Than an awesome thing
As Christ through us
Does creation bring
I speak of the tongue
That can curse or bless
The power of God
Through us, no less
A positive outlook
And words of joy
Bring raindrops of blessing
For us to employ
For saith the prophet
When us he was among
“Death and life
Are in the power of the tongue”
~ April 18, 2006
Ref: Proverbs 18:21
The poem above reminds us that death and life are indeed in
the power of the tongue. If we believe, we can speak to the
mountain, the problem in our life, and see it cast into the sea.
A positive confession is important in our walk with Jesus;
similarly, we should guard our tongue and avoid negativity.
Jesus is our Lord and our God!
