Leadership In Crisis

DAY 1 OF 10

Death And Life Are In The Power Of The Tongue. 

“Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.” Proverbs‬ ‭18:21‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Your words are important. The words that you speak are critical to your success. You can either use words that build up, uplift and navigate others through the storm — or you can use words that will derail and destroy homes and destiny — you choose. How will you be remembered in moments of crisis? Choose to invest your words wisely. 

Words are critical in crisis. How you choose to handle critical moments — matters to God. How you lead others through the fire — matters to God. How you lead others in times of crisis — matters to God. Choose to lead with wisdom. Choose to lead in love. Choose to let God lead your heart. Let His Response flow through your words, deeds, and actions. 

Proverbs‬ ‭18:21‬ ‭NLT‬‬ declares, “The tongue can bring death or life; those who love to talk will reap the consequences.” Choose to sow wisdom in chaos. Choose to sow peace in adversity. Choose to sow clarity in confusion. Choose to be helpful in moments of contention. Choose to be selfless and let your language build up others — instead of tearing them down. 

Let your words build up generations that come out of you. Let your words build up generations that come after you. Pattern your language after God’s Word. Pattern your words after what God declares. Let His Word become your fortress. Let His Word become your life’s framework. Let His Word guide you through panic. Let His Word guide you through the storm. 

Proverbs‬ ‭18:21‬ ‭AMPC‬‬ declares, “Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and they who indulge in it shall eat the fruit of it [for death or life].” Let your words sow life into others. Let your words sow life into your coworkers. Let your words sow life into your family. Sow life and light in dark situations. Let your light shine in chaos. Be the Solution. Reflect His Light.
