My son, pay attention to what I say;
turn your ear to my words.
Do not let them out of your sight,
keep them within your heart;
for they are life to those who find them
and health to one’s whole body.
There is healing in words! We often rehearse negative words that have been spoken by others and by ourselves. These may be words about ourselves or other people, our job or circumstances in our world. There is actual scientific proof that speaking words of peace, power, positivity and good make changes to our neural pathways. God says it here in Proverbs. God’s words are life and health to our whole body! What will you replace your negative self-talk with today? Consider: Nehemiah 8:10, Deuteronomy 28:6, Philippians 4:13, 2 Timothy 1:7, Isaiah 41:10, 1 Corinthians 3:16
