A BLAST FROM THE WORD
By Sandra Rhynes
“Words!”
Proverbs 15:1 A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.
Proverbs 16:24 Pleasant words are like a honeycomb, sweetness to the soul and health to the bones.
They were arguing, I could hear them from another room. These two scriptures came to my mind. You know, nothing stirs up anger and sows discord like grievous, hot words. A right cause will be better pleaded with meekness than harsh words. What is in the heart directs our words. Let us speak words of Life and Blessings to each other. Pleasant words from a wise heart teaches and adds learning. Also, the good word of God is a means of spiritual strength. Words that we say are like squeezing out too much toothpaste---you can’t put it back in the tube.
Father God, in Your precious Son’s name I come to You. Let me speak life into others. Take control of my words. Teach me from Your Word. Help me to think before I speak. Let me not forget the “Golden Rule.” Do unto others, as you would have them do unto you. Amen
