The Power of Words
Words have power.
We use thousands of them every day to communicate.
They help us share joy and sadness. And They help us learn and grow.
We use them to build each other up—or tear each other down…
And yet, we often underestimate the impact of our words.
Our declarations have the power to guide our actions: You need the reminder to speak the truth of the words that come from God—your Refuge, Strength, and Ever-Present Help in trouble!
Are you giving thought to the words you speak over yourself or about others daily?
Are they words rooted in doubt, fear, and insecurity, or do they come from the truth, goodness, and security in God’s promises?
The Power of Words
In Psalm 46:1, the Psalter makes a powerful declaration of God’s truth and promise: “God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.”
Psalm 46:1-11 KJV
[1] God is our refuge and strength, A very present help in trouble.
[2] Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, And though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;
[3] Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, Though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah.
[4] There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, The holy place of the tabernacles of the most High.
[5] God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her, and that right early.
[6] The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved: He uttered his voice, the earth melted.
[7] The LORD of hosts is with us; The God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.
[8] Come, behold the works of the LORD, What desolations he hath made in the earth.
[9] He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth; He breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder; He burneth the chariot in the fire.
[10] Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.
[11] The LORD of hosts is with us; The God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.

And this declaration leads to action in the next verse: “Therefore we will not fear” (verse 2).
Our declarations have the power to guide our actions.
So, what is it that you are declaring?
The Power of Words
Maybe today, you need the reminder to speak the truth of the words that come from God—
your refuge, strength, and ever-present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1).
As God’s child, you have been given freedom in Christ to choose and use words wisely (Colossians 4:6, Ephesians 4:29).
