Monday Morning Moments Podcast: The Power of Words

7 minutes

Words have power! Either to bless, encourage, and heal or to curse, hurt, and wound. We are beginning a new series appropriately entitled “Words.” In this series, we will explore the power of words, the purpose of words, and the promise of words. We will talk about the importance of choosing your words wisely both in leading yourself and your self talk as well as leading others. Whether you are a business leader, coach, athlete, student, parent, or spouse, you will gain insight into how to become more discerning and effective in how to use your words to encourage, inspire, and help others become their best!

In this episode of Monday Morning Moments, I share about the power of words and offer 3 tips on how to choose your words wisely.

Show Notes:

I love what J. R. Miller says in the book “The Building of Character”:“There have been meetings of only a moment which have left impressions for life, for eternity. No one can understand that mysterious thing we call influence… yet everyone of us continually exerts influence, either to heal, to bless, to leave marks of beauty; or to wound, to hurt, to poison, to stain our lives.”

3 Tips for Choosing Your Words Wisely:

Ponder Your Words

Measure Your Words

Pray About Your Words

As Harriet Beecher Stowe:“The bitterest tears shed over graves are for words left unsaid and deeds left undone.”I don’t want to leave “words left unsaid and deeds left undone” that I know God wants me to say!

I love the lyrics to this song by Hawk Nelson and MercyMe appropriately entitled “Words”:”You can heal the heartacheSpeak over the fearGod, your voice is the only thingWe need to hearWords can build us upWords can break us downStart a fire in our hearts orPut it outLet my words be lifeLet my words be truthI don’t wanna say a wordUnless it points the world back to You”
