Words You Can Live By

“The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit.” Proverbs, Chapter 18: 21 NEV

A slogan is a phrase, usually only a few words in length, that is highly memorable. The goal of these words leave a lasting impression in our minds.

Let me share some famous slogans that I know you have heard:

1. Skittles — “Taste the Rainbow”
2. Red Bull — “Red Bull Gives You Wings”
3. Maybelline – “Maybe She’s Born With it, maybe it’s Maybelline”
4. Nike – “Just Do It!”
5. Kellogg’s Rice Krispies — “Snap! Crackle! Pop!”
6. Maxwell House — “Good to the Last Drop”
7. M&M — “Melts in Your Mouth, Not in Your Hands”
8. Capital One — “What’s in Your Wallet?”
9. State Farm — “Like a Good Neighbor, State Farm Is There”
10. Bounty — “The Quicker Picker Upper”
11. Lay’s — “Betcha Can’t Eat Just One”
12. Dunkin’ Donuts — “America Runs on Dunkin’”
13. The U.S. Marine Corps — “The Few. The Proud. The Marines”
14. The U.S. Army- “Be all you can be”
15. Kelloggs Frosties — “They’re GR-R-R-reat”
16. Campbell’s Soup — “M’m! M’m! Good!”

Did you remember some of the Slogans I shared? People have been shopping by these slogans for years.

What about the scriptures? There are plenty of words the scripture provides us, that we can live by every day. Words of strength, guidance, hope, joy, rest, peace, and love. God’s Word has everything we need to live our best life.

• My God will supply our needs
• Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean on your own understanding; Acknowledge him and he Shall direct your path.
• God takes care of the birds of the air, how much more will he take care of you
• The Lord is my Shepherd, and I shall not want.
• I can do all things through Christ who is my strength.
• We walk by faith, not by sight.
• Let all you do be done in love.
• Peace be still.
• I am with you always
• A joyful heart is good medicine.
• For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.

Here are two more church marquee signs I saw online: One said, “God is like tide soap, He gets the stains out, others left behind.”and on more for the road, “why pay for GPS? Jesus gives directions for free.”

No matter what this life throws at us, we have the Good Lord. He is where all our help comes from. We can lean and depend on him. No other help I know.

Remember friends, we are each other’s keeper and the only time we should be looking down on someone is when we are helping them up.
