Guarded Lips
     
"He touched my lips with it and said, 'See, this coal has touched your lips. Now your guilt is removed, and your sins are forgiven.'"
Isaiah 6:7 (NLT)
 
When the Prophet Isaiah speaks of his sinfulness and uncleanliness his concern is with his lips, and when the angel brings a coal to cleanse him of his sin and uncleanliness he touches only his lips. This should serve as a radical picture of the power of our words to either condemn us or bless us; to lead us into paths of prosperity or paths of destruction; to guide us to the promises of God or away from them. The words we speak indeed steer the direction of our life! In the Book of James our words are compared to the rudder of a ship that steers the ship in the direction it will take. Our words will always steer our lives! If you don't like the direction your life is taking, consider the words that are coming out of your mouth. Are they words of life and blessing? Or, do you speak words of doubt and fear? Are you talking about the blessing of God? Or, do the trials and disappointments of life dominate your speech? Jesus said, "It's not what goes into your mouth that defiles you; you are defiled by the words that come out of your mouth." Guard your lips and the words you allow to proceed forth from them! Speak words of life and faith, and your life will move into a land that freely flows with the blessings of God!
 
"And consider ships: Though very large and driven by fierce winds, they are guided by a very small rudder wherever the will of the pilot directs. So too, though the tongue is a small part of the body, it boasts great things..." James 3:4-5 (HCSB)
