Morning Line: Word Worth
How would people rate your word, do you do what you say you will?
“If a man takes a vow to God…he shall not desecrate his word; according to whatever comes out of his mouth he shall do” Numbers 30:3
Our words are just like checks are yours cashable?
You can say whatever you like, and you can verbally commit yourself to anything but unless you follow through on your words, they are like a check that is written but with no money in the bank to back it up.
In the first chapter of Genesis, it says “God said…” nine times. God created the world by speaking it into existence. He spoke and there was a world. The entire world comes from words!
We use words to create as well.
Through our words we create ourselves. When we say that we will be somewhere at 9:00 and we show up at 9:15 or when we say that we will get the job done and we don’t, or we make promises that we don’t keep–the result is that we have created an image and identity for ourselves of untrustworthy. When there is a gap between what we say and what we do, we will not be taken seriously by others, and they will see us as unreliable and even dishonest if it happens often enough.
When our words become profaned, how is it possible to pray to God? Can God take us seriously when our words are like checks without any money in the bank?
Conversely, when we consistently follow through on what we say and we demonstrate that our word is our bond, we create a person who is trustworthy, honest, and reliable.
When we speak about values to our children and the importance of having a relationship with God and our children see us doing just that, then our words will resonate with them. Our words will have integrity. Do as I say because I also do as I say!
Words are real! It is a lifelong challenge to be consistent and to always “walk the talk.” Think before you speak because what you say will create your reality. (excerpts RABBI MOSHE ROTHCHILD, Devotional)
“Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruits. Proverbs 18:21
