Psalm 109:17: "As he loved cursing, let it come unto him: as he delighted not in blessing, let if be far from him."
This terrifies me, that cursing, or using swear words only heaps up curses for the user. That it also keeps blessings from far from him.
No, no, I choose different. I choose a wholesome tongue. I choose the Word of God, Jesus.
Life and death is in the power of the tongue, which means the tongue does have power both to kill and give life.
No, no, I choose different. I choose words of grace, words that heal, words that give life.
We hear cursing all around us, as if it's nothing, but words are seeds, and whatsoever a man sows, the same shall he reap.
We hear cursing everywhere: in our neigborhoods, on TV, on YouTube, on websites, everywhere.
In the midst of it all, is it okay, then, to join the crowd? No, the word of God is forever, and will not change, so I choose the fear of God, which is the beginning of wisdom.
I choose different, we choose different, we choose the Word of God
If you also feel the same way, and choose different, let me know your thoughts on this matter in the comments---there's power in numbers.
In the midst of unrighteousness, let's persevere to do what's right. His grace is enough.
Peace.
