Words

Words are seeds that do more than blow around. They land in our hearts and not the ground. (Author unknown)

A great word picture! Once words are spoken or written, they’re in the “public domain,” so to speak. Who knows the influence they will have on their hearers or readers? The unknown writer continues with a warning, “Be careful what you plant and careful what you say. You might have to eat what you planted one day.” Guarding on our words may prevent that distasteful meal.

The wicked are trapped by their own words, but the godly escape such trouble. (Proverbs 12:13)
