Speak Life

Speak Life

Have you ever been in a situation and just blurted out the first thought that came to you without really even thinking about it? You then completely regretted what you said. What if we aimed to only speak the things that God told us to? 

John 12: 49-50 says, “For I did not speak on my own, but the Father who sent me commanded me to say all that I have spoken. I know that his command leads to eternal life. So whatever I say is just what the Father has told me to say.” 

Two things stand out in these verses, the first one being that Jesus ONLY spoke what the Father told him. The second thing is that the reason he only spoke what the Father told him was because he knew the Father. 

Jesus knew that the Fathers words led to eternal life.  If we only truly understood that God wants the very best for us I think we would be making sure that we only spoke his words. I think we would take more time to listen before we spoke. Today, let’s aim to speak ONLY what the Father speaks to us. 

Let’s let his words come out of our mouths because they lead to eternal life.
