Day 41 Bible Reading: Exodus 31, Matthew 26:14-68, Psalm 32 and Proverb 8:27-32 
Swords can draw blood and kill. But it is also with words that we must therefore guard against using sharp and cutting words. For those words will boomerang back to us with their deadly consequences, just as Jesus warned us "'Put your sword back in its place,' Jesus said to him, 'for all who draw the sword will die by the sword.'" - Matthew 26: 52 (NLT)
But by our words, we will impart life and hope because of the One who is in us.
"Then Jesus said to him, 'Put your sword back into its place. For all who take the sword will perish by the sword.'" – Matthew 26:52 (English Standard Version)
"Lord, let my words be your sword and impart life, hope, and peace in Jesus’ name, Amen."
