Moms and dads, pastors and teachers, counselors and coaches, your tongue possesses the power of life and death. Let us never think our words will be overlooked and easily erased. DEATH WORDS destroy, hurt, create humiliating feelings. LIFE WORDS build and increase strength of character. They center on the truth, and therefore they set the other person free. (See Proverbs 18:21)

Generally speaking, there are two kinds of tests in life; adversity and prosperity. Of the two, the latter is the more difficult. When adversity strikes, things get simple; survival is the goal. It is a test on maintaining the basics of food, clothing, and shelter. But when prosperity comes, watch out! Things get complicated. All kinds of subtle temptations arrives, pleading for satisfaction. It is then that one’s integrity is put to the test. (See Daniel 6:4)

It is awesome to realize that today was in God's mind and plan long before this earth was created. He knew you would be where you are at this very moment, living in your present circumstances. Turn over the controls of your life to Him. Admit you weakness, your hypocrisy, you tendency to worry, your deep need of His presence and His counsel in your life. (See Psalm 33:6-11)
