We live in a time where words and living by them are meaningless. Someone can say one thing one day and turn face the other. We see this all over the place, most recently in the honored world of golf. Leaders in the PGA, including players, said they would never take money from the Saudis and merge with the LIV “tour.” Well, we have seen how that has been thrown out the window.
Your word is your bond. What you say you need to stick to and live by. Yes, we all say things that we realize later are mistakes. That’s different. But the basic premise is you say what you mean and live by it.
I find a lot of professed Christians who say a lot of pretty sounding words. But they then don’t live by those words. We are just so fortunate that God lives by every word He speaks to us. Truly, His word is His bond. We need to follow that model.
I try to live by my words. Obviously, sometimes I fail. But I pick myself back up and give it another go. If we don’t live by our words what are we?
Have an AMAZING week ahead! And live by your words this week!
