Conduct and Conversation
Adapted from Beginning Your Day God’s Way
Blessed (happy, fortunate, to be envied) are the undefiled (the upright, truly sincere, and blameless) in the way [of the revealed will of God], who walk (order their conduct and conversation) in the law of the Lord (the whole of God’s revealed will).
What we say is important. The power of our words cannot be underestimated. Our words are direct reflections of our hearts and guide our actions. Choosing to think and speak positively lays the foundation for doing what is right.
Our declarations shape our beliefs and, in turn, influence our lives and the world around us. If I say I cannot do something, I probably won’t do it. But if I say I can do something, then actually doing it becomes more likely. The more we say something, the more we believe it ourselves, because we hear and feed on our own words.
Search God’s Word to see what it says about you and then align your conversations accordingly. Do this even if you don’t fully believe it yet. Declare God’s Word until you believe it, then speak it in faith and watch what God will do in your life.
Prayer of the Day: Father, thank You for the truth of Your Word. Help me believe what You say about me and speak words that agree with Your promises. In Jesus' name, amen.
