Today is the best day of my life. Imagine hearing these words come out of your mouth every time someone asks, how are you today? Now, imagine honestly believing what you say.
What would it take to make today the best day of your life? For me it’s very simple. If I woke up this morning with a sound mind, a healthy body, and the knowledge that God is in control then it’s the best day of my life.
Words have Life
Do you have to believe the statement in order for it to be true? The reality is that anything you say, especially if you repeat it enough, will become true because you breathe life into the words you speak. Proverbs 18:21 says death and life are in the power of the tongue, choose one and eat its fruit.
