As Christians, we are called to live life to the full extent. The secret to living a happy, enjoyable, and long life is to keep our tongue from speaking evil and our lips from telling lies. We are a true extension of God when we prosper, flourish, and produce fruit throughout our lives. Most don’t enjoy life because of this very reason; it is not because of no money, no friends, no opportunities, no fame, etc. Restraining and taming the tongue from speaking evil is the key to a happy life. Whenever we speak evil, we attract evil and this glorifies the enemy who comes only to kill, steal, and destroy.
God wants us to prosper. It’s not in His will that we live depressed, hurting, or broken. Everything that we speak creates, promotes, and multiplies certain atmospheres around us. A constant evaluation is essential to ensure we speak and echo God. It’s a lie if God hasn’t spoken it. Lies are not only deception, it is turning away from what God has already spoken. For eg, in the Garden of Eden, the serpent came and gave a second piece of information about the same tree which God had spoken about. Adam and Eve were deceived because of this secondary information/source. If we constantly ponder what God is speaking, we live and speak the truth. Jesus is the way, truth, and life.
Let’s pursue God in this manner constantly and tame our tongues. Confess and condemn those words that are not from God. And we will enjoy the happy days ahead of us. May the Lord bless you with supernatural happiness from the way you exercise the power of your words.

Healing and Bandaging
Psalms 147:2-3 (GNB)
“The LORD is restoring Jerusalem; he is bringing back the exiles. He heals the broken-hearted and bandages their wounds.”
Divide the Enemy
Mark 3:24-26 (NKJV)
If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. And if a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand. And if Satan has risen up against himself, and is divided, he cannot stand, but has an end.
Psalm 147:2–3 reveals God's heart as a Restorer rather than a Punisher. Although Israel went into exile because of its own rebellion, God did not abandon His people. Instead, He promised to restore Jerusalem, bring the exiles home, heal the brokenhearted, and bind up their wounds.
The message reminds us that while God may use friends, pastors, counselors, or loved ones to help us, true healing and restoration ultimately come from the Lord. His restoration reaches every part of our lives—our hearts, relationships, health, finances, emotions, and spiritual walk.
God knows every wound, including those hidden from others. Unlike people, who can only comfort from the outside, He sees the deepest parts of our hearts and heals completely. His healing is so complete that even the scars of past pain lose their power to define us.
The devotion encourages believers to fix their eyes on God instead of relying solely on human help. No matter how far someone has drifted, how many mistakes they have made, or how broken they feel, God is still calling them back. His desire is to restore, heal, and make all things beautiful in His perfect timing.
