Hope you're having a great summer. Know that we're praying for you. We know God has awesome things in store.

So great having you with us. Enjoy the message today. You know, the scripture talks a lot about the words that come out of our mouth.

And so I want to encourage us with this simple truth to have faith-filled words. It's a simple truth,

but it has a profound effect on our life. The words that come out of our mouth can guide our

life. The words that can come out of our mouth can change our life and lead us in different directions, depending

on what's coming out of our mouth. The book of Proverbs is a book of wisdom, and it's the wisdom

of God, and it teaches us how to live our life. It guides us in this journey through life so that we can take hold of this

wisdom, apply it, and it will direct us. It will get us to where we need to be. If we will apply

this wisdom, it will direct us to miracles. It'll direct us to the things of God. You know, the Bible talks

about the tongue. It says it in James. It says the tongue is a very small part of the body.

It also compares the tongue to a rudder of a big ship.

Now the rudder of a big ship is a very small part of the ship.

And even though the winds come against that ship and the ship has to go

through raging waters, do you know that whichever way the rudder turns, it can change the direction

of that entire huge ship? It's all about the pilot and how he directs the rudder is where the ship goes can i encourage us

to be the pilot of our tongues to speak words of faith to release them in the atmosphere so that our

words will lead us and guide us to the place we want to go.

But she was talking about her daughter having this job, and the job was not recognizing the talents that her daughter had.

In fact, she was feeling like her daughter wasn't getting the breaks that she deserved. And there were other people she felt less talented
