Sermon: 3/8/26- Friday's Devotional

Speaking Blessing Over Others
Reading: Numbers 6:22-27; Proverbs 18:20-21

The priestly blessing in Numbers reveals God's design: words spoken over others carry divine weight. When parents bless their children, when friends speak life over one another, when we choose encouragement over criticism, we participate in God's creative work.
Proverbs declares that death and life are in the power of the tongue. You hold this power every day. Will you speak death through criticism, gossip, and negativity? Or will you speak life through affirmation, truth, and hope?
Your words can prophesy someone's future, just as Isaac's blessing shaped Jacob's destiny. Speak blessing over your children. Encourage your spouse. Affirm your coworkers. Build up your friends. Let your words be instruments of grace that point others toward God's goodness.
Today, intentionally bless three people with your words. Watch how speaking life transforms not only them but also your own heart. Remember: each word is a gift—give wisely.
