Living to see good days

1Pe 3:9 Never give back evil for evil, or reviling for reviling, but on the contrary, giving blessing, knowing that you are called to this so that you might inherit blessing.
1Pe 3:10 For he that wants to love life and to see good days, let him restrain his tongue from evil, and his lips from speaking guile.

Do you know that we are called to inherit God's blessing? We are not just a common believer but we are God's heir to inherit His blessing. I checked the word blessing in Greek, eulogia, means fine speaking. The word eulogia comes from 2 Greek words, eu which means good and logia or logos means word so we can say that eulogia or blessing means good word. When Jesus said to the fig-tree and the following day the fig tree died. Mar 11:21 And Peter, remembering, said to Him (Jesus), Rabbi, behold, the fig tree which You cursed has withered away. When Jesus said bad about the fig tree, Peter recognized those words as curse. And it's true that when Jesus said bad about the tree, the tree died. It means that our word carry authority and power to bring life or death. (Pro 18:21)

And verse 10 says, if we want to love life and see good days, thank God that we will have good days, not just a day but days, let us retrain our tongue from evil. Wait a minute! How come if we want to see good days we are to retrain our tongue from evil. Because if we want to get God's blessing or to see good days, we are to say good word in our life, our situation, our children and our study or job. Don't say bad word, or curse (remember curse word equals bad word), in our life but rather say what God says in our life.

How many agree that it's good to know we have good days ahead of us and God is the One who promises us that. Only we are to restrain our tongue from evil and we shall see good days!
