Morning by Morning, September 18, 2025 – “By Your Words ...”
Good morning, Lord Jesus. You are “the Way and the Truth and the Life” (John 14:6). So as I begin my day here in the communion of prayer with You, I give myself to Your Way, Your Truth, and Your Life, as best as I can and all by Your grace. ...
“Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. The good person brings good things out of a good treasure, and the evil person brings evil things out of an evil treasure. I tell you, on the day of judgment you will have to give an account for every careless word you utter, for by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned” (Matthew 12:34-37).
Our words matter. Our words reflect our heart. And according to Your Word we will be judged by our words. Which means we will be judged by our hearts, for our words reflect our hearts.
So sanctify my words. Purify my heart.
Then the good treasure of my heart can bring good things into my life and the lives of those who hear my words and see my heart.
Even in the freedom we have to speak our words, let us also embrace the freedom we have to turn to You, to embrace You, to allow You to set our hearts right so that our words will be right.
“Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruits” (Proverbs 18:21).
As said in The Message version:
“Words kill, words give life; they’re either poison or fruit — you choose.”
Let my tongue speak life according to Your Life. Let my tongue speak Your truth in love (Ephesians 4:15). Let my tongue speak of You and Your ways and Your truth and Your life, because I’ve surrendered my tongue, my words, and my heart to You. Not just in a one-time prayer a long time ago, but every day in surrender and submission to You as both my Savior and my Lord — Lord my heart and Lord of my tongue. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
Be encouraged today. In the love of Jesus, Tommy Hays
