But I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the Day of Judgment.
—MATTHEW 12:36
Matthew 15:11 says, “Not what goes into the mouth defiles a man; but what comes out of the mouth, this defiles a man” (NKJV).
Pleasant words are like a honeycomb, sweetness to the soul and health to the bones. There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death.
—PROVERBS 16:24–25, NKJV
Wise words bring health.
Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Your sight, O LORD, my strength and my Redeemer.
—PSALM 19:14, NKJV
The preparations of the heart belong to man, but the answer of the tongue is from the LORD.
—PROVERBS 16:1, NKJV

Let Us Pray!
Heavenly Father, through Your Word You have imparted Your life to me. That life restores my body with every breath I breathe and every word I speak. First Peter 2:24 is engrafted into every fiber of my being and I am alive with the life of God. Every organ and every tissue of my body functions in the perfection in which God created it to function. I forbid any malfunction in my body.
In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen!
