Fruit of the mouth!

A good Word for us to start the week on:



Proverbs 18:20

20 A man’s stomach shall be satisfied from the fruit of his mouth;

From the produce of his lips he shall be filled. 



Again the Word of God is teaching us the importance for kind and useful words to flow from our mouths. As we start another Monday this morning we need to once again stop and examine what comes out of of our mouth. I see from this verse that we can interpret it in two ways. The first being kind words. Fruit is sweet to the taste in most instances. Are your words sweet or kind to others or are you harsh in most things you say? If we take majority of the words of Christ we see He was kind when He spoke to others. When we are harsh folks will not want to be around us and thus do not want to listen to us either. That brings us to the second way this verse can be viewed. The fruit and produce can also be viewed as the gospel. Sharing the good news of Christ is as satisfying as anything in life! And when we win others to Christ we are filled to the max with joy!! There is nothing better than winning a soul for Jesus...nothing!



So what about the fruit of your mouth this morning???? Are kind words flowing? Are you spreading the gospel with your lips? Use your mouth wisely....it does the soul good!~
