Abracadabra

This magic phrase is actually Hebrew in origin, meaning, “I create what I speak.”

Wow.

Once again, the power of our words is in full force. Scripture backs this up…

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

Proverbs 18:21

And that’s no small thing. We so often underestimate the power of our words, what we say to and about ourselves.

“For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he...”

Proverbs 23:7

Yes, it all starts with our thoughts, our self-concept. And then, eventually, we speak out that estimation. We create something; we frame our worlds with our words.

Yikes.

So, it might do us all some good if we learn, absorb and speak God’s Words and thoughts. They’re powerful, positive and helpful.

“For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.”

Hebrews 4:12

“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways my ways, says the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts.”

Isaiah 55:8-9

Do we embrace that or reject that? It’s our decision what we do with those messages.

We’re saying abracadabra about our lives. What do we create when we speak?
