THE TONGUE
Prov 18:21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and they who indulge in it shall eat the fruit of it. AMP
The key word in this scripture is ‘POWER‘. Although the tongue is a small member of the body God has given to it the power to determine life or death. In delegating to a policeman the authority to direct traffic, we would gladly say we’ve given him the power of life and death. He’s responsible to direct the traffic so no one dies and everyone lives. When he holds up his hand the traffic stops. 
When he points with his finger the traffic changes direction. 
When he waves with his hand the traffic moves forward. 
We’ve given to the policeman the power of life and death. Therefore the words we speak hold within them the power to direct the traffic (course) of our lifestyle; and the scripture goes onto say we will eat the fruit (live in the consequences) of our words for good or bad. So if we’ve been speaking words of defeat, failure or loss, we will eat the fruit of our words which is hopelessness, confusion and death. But if we’ve been speaking words of success, victory and accomplishment, we will eat the fruit of our words which is hope, direction, vision and life.
Meditation Point: The power of my tongue directs the course of my life.
