SHOUT to the Lord: October 2013

SHOUT

A scream, shout, holler, vociferation, or yell is a loud vocalization in which air is passed through the vocal cords with greater force than is used in regular or close-distance vocalization. Though technically this process can be performed by any creature possessing lungs, the preceding terms are usually applied specifically to human vocalization.

Reasons for shouting vary, and it may be done deliberately or simply as a reaction. The core motive, in essentially all situations, is communication.

Words

"Put away from you all false and dishonest speech, and willful and contrary talk put far from you." Proverbs 4:24 AMP

For the past month or so, God has called me to consider my words. I went straight to the WORD and in my daily readings looked for God to show me about my mouth. And He did. Some of it was convicting and some was uplifting.

The book of Proverbs is full of verses on lips and tongues and the mouth! And the consequences we must face when we choose to use our words incorrectly.

"Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof."

Proverbs 18:21 KJV

Your words can kill. Period. They can destroy a moment. They can cause harm to your children that will last for generations. They can shame you. Words can take root and grow in another person and either bring forth fruit or cause a bitter heart. Jeremiah 12:2 AMP.

Your SHOUTING has power, my friend. Every person you meet today is either a demolition site or a construction opportunity. Your words make a difference. Will you build them up or tear them down?

Be Blessed,

Carolyn
