Isaiah 55:11 NASB "So will My word be which goes out of My mouth; It will not return to Me empty, Without accomplishing what I desire, And without succeeding in the purpose for which I sent it." They matter! Today's verse, speaks about words, our words, His Word and no matter what, they will accomplish what we desire! I thought back to my words of anger that hurt so many people. I didn't care at the time, when I spoke them. My only thought was to inflict pain when I spoke in anger. I never realized the damage that can be done when we simply utter a disparaging comment. Years later, I realized that even though I apologized at the time, the damage done by words spoken in anger have long lasting effects. There is that old adage that says "think before we speak", it's a really good lesson to put into practice for as we read today's verse, our words will accomplish what we desire! Let's use our words to encourage, uplift and strengthen someone today, rather than tear them apart for years to come! peace, tom
