Hebrews 11:1

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

We all believe in something, and though we may not call it faith, it is whether it is positive or negative.  It is a faith in something.  We see it in our minds and meditate on it coming true.  Our lives come down to the choice of what we concentrate on, whether positive or negative.

Proverbs 18:21

Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.

I speak every day but do I listen to what I say. Some days I know I don’t pay attention to anything at all but the emotion I may be feeling. The more I know of God’s word, the more careful I become with my words.  I can choose to speak words that are affirming what I have in Jesus Christ, or I can choose to speak words that break my world down.  It comes down to what I want out of life, and it comes down to whether I take the Word seriously.  I draw a line in the sand whether I choose life or death.  It is all up to me.
