One of our most powerful gifts is our words. What we say has power. Be cautious of making promises that cannot be kept. When we break a promise, even by mistake, we are weakening the power of our word. Our speech is meant to help in bringing forth the plans of God. Careless promises devalue our impact when we speak of the promises of God. Do not take for granted what you have been given. Be a good steward of God’s gifts so that you might be a leader for those among you.
