I will say of the Lord, He is my Refuge and my Fortress, my God; on Him I lean and rely and in Him I [confidently] trust! (Psalm 91:2 AMPC).
Often we think of certain things that happened to some very "good" people and say, "If this could happen to such and such, what about me? That guy was better than me! Well, it has nothing to do with who is better than who. It has to do with your personal walk with the Lord and your faith in His Word. It has to do with your creeds.
Bad things can happen to good people.
Recall the anointed words of the psalmist that we read in our first passage of scripture. It was David's confession and it has to be your confession too. From time to time you say, “The Lord is my refuge and my stronghold; He is my God; In Him I lean and trust, and in Him I trust with confidence!"
Learn the power and value of thinking well and speaking well. If you think wrong, it will be reflected in your words. And if your words are wrong, things will go wrong in your life. Your confessions rule your life. The Bible says, "You are caught by the words of your mouth, you are caught by the words of your mouth" (Proverbs 6:2).
No wonder Psalm 39:1 warns that you guard what you say and speak only what is right: “...I will watch my ways, so as not to sin with my tongue: I will guard my mouth with a bridle....
” James 3:2 says: “For in many things we offend everyone. If one does not sin with words, he is a perfect man and can also bridle the whole body.”
Proverbs 15:4 says, “A healthy tongue is a tree of life...”; A sound tongue is one that speaks according to Christ's terms in His gospel. Do you want to live the amazing and transcendent life of ever-increasing glory that God has ordained for you? The key is your confession: "Whoever wants to love life and see good days, must keep his tongue from evil, and his lips speak no deceit" (1 Peter 3:10).
Keeping your tongue from evil and your lips from speaking deceit means you speak only according to the Word of God.
