James 3:2 reinforces what affects our health, sense of wellbeing, and that of those around us ~ death or grace imparting words. All words come from our thoughts. When we live with the awareness that Jesus bore our iniquities, we must conclude that we are the responsible party of what comes out of our mouths.

The devil uses fiery darts to undermine and destroy our faith. Ephesians 6:16. When we walk in the Spirit, our shield of faith will be consistently up. The Holy Spirit will check our spirit when a fiery dart is lobbed. He will bring to our remembrance implanted truths that are hidden in our hearts.

Proverbs 23:7 says, “For as he thinks in his heart, so is he…” What do you have in place as a governor or restraint over your thoughts? We become what we think. Proverbs 3:7-8 says to depart from iniquity, “It will be health to your flesh, and strength to your bones.”

Job 21:23 in the Amplified says, “…(his veins are filled with nourishment), and the morrow of his bones is fresh and moist.”
