The Weight of Words #049

Words are weapons.

They can build a man up or tear down.

I’ve seen men crushed by careless insults and others lifted by a single encouragement.

Your tongue is a blade, sharp enough to wound or strong enough to heal.

As men, we’re called to wield our words with precision, not recklessness, because they carry eternal weight.

Training Application

Audit your speech daily. Are your words building or breaking?

Practice speaking life. Encourage your wife, affirm your kids, challenge your brothers in faith.

Cut out gossip, sarcasm and complaints.

Before you speak, ask: Does this reflect Christ? Words shape your legacy more than you know.

Warrior’s Reminder

A man’s strength isn’t just in his fists. It’s in the words he chooses to wield.

Scripture Focus

“The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit.”
Proverbs 18:21
