Do the words we speak really have such a significant impact? Absolutely. Consider this study: Two bottles of rice were placed on a table, one labeled with curses and the other with blessings.

In Ezekiel chapter 37, God commands Ezekiel to speak to a valley of dry bones. As Ezekiel prophesies, the bones miraculously come back to life.

Stand in front of a mirror and speak life over yourself, trusting that God will bring forth blessings. Let's choose to speak blessings into our lives and witness the transformative power of our words.

Some have even gone so far as to call the Bible an idol since Jesus is the living word rather than words on pages. What was Amos talking about in chapter 8?
