March 21 -- As Beautiful as Pig Jewelry

Here We Go ‘Round, the Big Desert, the Big Desert, the Big Desert: Numbers 32:1-33:39

Shut Up and Get Out! Luke 4:31-5:11

Sharpen Their Tongues Like Swords: Psalm 64:1-10

As Beautiful as Pig Jewelry: Proverbs 11:22

Here again in Psalms, David refers to the power of his enemies words. When we get to 1st Samuel we’ll see that David experienced a lot headache from a few people stirring up many against him. I think we all need to be aware of how our words stir up either love & respect or anger & mischief.

But in Luke, Jesus’ word is used to triumph over demons. Jesus didn’t do a full body slam on the demon to drive it out. He simple commanded it to shut up & get out. Jesus’ word is all it took, just like Jesus (as God) simply commanded everything into existence.

Now the question I have for you is, do our words resemble the words of love from Jesus or the words of selfishness and unrighteousness from the world?
