A brand New Year is upon us and, as usual, it’s time for us to make those annual resolutions, promises and commitments only to see them go by the wayside by March!
Why not try something different and change what we say about the things we want for ourselves this year?
It is no secret that our life follows our words. I believe that if we start saying the right things regarding our resolutions, we will see a great turn-around in our lives. Below is a list of Bible verses that focus on the power of words. Enjoy!

3 Translations of Proverbs 18:21

- Words kill, words give life; they're either poison or fruit-you choose. (The Message Bible)
- The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love to talk will have to eat their own words. (GOD'S WORD Translation)
3 Translations of Matthew 12:37

3 Translations of Job 3:25
