After a tragic event such as, a car collision, a negative report from the doctor, or even a layoff at our job occurs, the first thing we must do is be mindful of our speech. Death and life are in the power of our tongues and what we say (good or bad) will come to pass in our lives (Proverbs 18:21).
Along with our speech, the second thing we need to be mindful of is our belief. Who do we believe? Doctors, “experts”, or family members will have something to say after we experienced a tragic event. Some things we hear are facts, some things are true, and some things are lies.
We have to align the things that people say with the Word of God and what God promised us. If what others say doesn’t line up with the Word of God, we must replace their words and believe the truth.
If a doctor says, you or your wife are prone to miscarriages, we have to replace what they said and believe the truth that you or your wife will not miscarry based on God’s promise found in Exodus 23:26 – and none will miscarry or be barren in your land. I will give you a full life span.
If someone says, without employment they are going to foreclose on our house. We, in return, must replace what they said with God perfects everything concerning us including a mortgage payment (Psalms 138:8).
Whatever we hear during a tragic event, it’s our choice to believe and receive that word. If it doesn’t align with the Word of God, throw it out and believe the truth.
Mark 11:23 (NLT) I tell you the truth, you can say to this mountain, ‘May you be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’ and it will happen. But you must really believe it will happen and have no doubt in your heart.
