What’s cracking baby?
Do you sense something different about this article? Can you sense the awesomeness exuding from your screen as you read these carefully written words that were penned by the mind of a genius?
There is power in the spoken word and I have written about this before. Actually, God wrote about it in the Bible. This year is quite the interesting year to say the least and many a times, you might get tempted to speak about all the negativity that is going on around you. I would like us to shift perspective here:
“….. For I say only what I have heard from the one who sent me, and he is completely truthful.””
John 8:26 NLT
With the pandemic and everything else going on, it can be really tempting to start talking about what is going on around you but we can always seek help from the Almighty to help us speak accordingly.
“God, give me grace to guard my lips from speaking what is wrong.”

“Your speech should always be pleasant and interesting, and you should know how to give the right answer to everyone.”

““In the past you have encouraged many people; you have strengthened those who were weak. Your words have supported those who were falling; you encouraged those with shaky knees.”
Job 4:3-4 NLT
“Do you think I couldn’t make up my mind about what to do? Or do I seem like someone who says “Yes” or “No” simply to please others? God can be trusted, and so can I, when I say our answer to you has always been “Yes” and never “No.””
