Bible verse of The Day – 7-16-19

Colossians 4:6 (NKJV) 6 Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one.

Letting our words be seasoned with grace and salt comes only one way; by prayer, and by staying in the word of God on a regular basis.

God has a way of teaching us, with love, through His scriptures. And He corrects our attitudes, bringing us wisdom and discernment as to what may really need to be said at specific times.

Sometimes we may not want to say what God reveals to us. However, if we say it with grace, even though it may sting, it will be a “good sting” that will ultimately bring freedom to the hearer.

Will people get angry with us if God uses us to point out to them their sin, their misunderstanding or their wrong direction? Yes, even if our words are seasoned, because the truth they carry may not be what they wanted to hear at that moment. They can and will deliberately treat us badly because of it. But, remember, we are not people-pleasers. What we do and say with God is only to bring healing, recovery and His truth to that particular situation.

Is someone mad at you today? Do you feel like you spoke with grace, and you brought the truth to a situation, and now you are taking the heat for it?

Matthew 18:15 (NKJV) 15 “Moreover if your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault between you and him alone. If he hears you, you have gained your brother.

Stand strong in what you feel was right, and let God work out the details and bring forth good fruit.

Don’t take it personally or hold it against them. Just keep moving forward. It will all come around in its time.
