A man's belly

Proverbs  18:20 A man's belly shall be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth; and with the increase of his lips shall he be filled.

In our journey through life, our tongues hold the power to shape our destinies. Just as a tree is known by its fruit, we are known by the words that proceed from our mouths. 

The words we speak can either be a source of life, bringing blessings and satisfaction, or they can be a source of destruction, leading to emptiness and strife.

King Solomon, the wise author of Proverbs, emphasizes the direct correlation between our speech and the state of our being. The "fruit of our mouth" refers to the words we utter, whether they be words of kindness, encouragement, and love, or words of bitterness, deceit, and negativity. Our spoken words are like seeds sown into the soil of our lives, and they bear fruit accordingly.

When we choose to speak words of love, affirmation, and encouragement, we not only sow seeds of goodness into the lives of others but also fill our own "stomachs" with the joy that comes from building others up. 

On the contrary, when our words are tainted with negativity, criticism, and malice, we reap a bitter harvest that leaves our souls unsatisfied and our spirits famished.

Let us be mindful of the power vested in our tongues. As we navigate our relationships, careers, and daily interactions, may we strive to cultivate a garden of positive, life-giving words. In doing so, we not only bless others but also nourish our own souls, filling our "bellies" with the satisfaction that comes from living a life rooted in love and kindness.

In conclusion, let us  recognize that our words hold the key to the abundance or lack we experience in our lives. Choose your words wisely, speak life into the world around you, and may your "belly" be filled with the rich harvest of blessings that flow from a heart filled with love and grace.. Amen.

God bless you.
