1 Chronicles 28:9 Amplified says, “…For the Lord searches all hearts and minds and understands all the wanderings of the thoughts…” If you wonder how your thought life is affecting you, check out your health.

Proverbs 18:21 says that our tongue speaks death or life. Life-giving words come from speaking Scripture to ourselves and to others. Here are a few examples. ‘I am made in the image of God’ Genesis 1:26. ‘God’s hands have made and fashioned me’ Psalm 119:73. ‘I was chosen before time began’ Ephesians 1:4. 

Hearing God’s word increases faith. Romans 10:17. Faith affirmations conform our thoughts, purpose, and actions to God’s will and ways. It is the work of righteousness which brings peace, quietness, and assurance. Isaiah 32:17.

Speaking Scripture bridles our tongue to turn our lives. James 3:3  says, “Indeed, we put bits in horses’ mouths that they may obey  us, and we turn their whole body.”
