Bible Verse of The Day – 5-2-15

Proverbs 16:24 (NKJV) 24 Pleasant words are like a honeycomb, sweetness to the soul and health to the bones.

A kind word can make the difference between someone having a good day and a bad day.

Have you ever been having one of those days where nothing seems to be going right, and the world is falling apart around you, and then someone says something to you that turns things around for you?

As followers of Christ, we need to be one of those people who turns someone’s day around with a kind word and a gentle smile.

Harsh words, spoken with the intent to insult or tear down, do no good for anyone. We need to be sure that our words are being filtered by the Holy Spirit before they leave our lips.

Yes, there will be times when we need to speak firmly, but never with the intent to cut or harm someone.

So as we go through our day today, let’s be sure to let the Spirit of God be in control of our mouths so that when we speak, the words that come out are edifying and uplifting.

Let’s be that person that makes a difference in someone’s day 🙂

Bible Verse of The Day – 3-10-15

Proverbs 15:1 (NKJV) 15 A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.

People can really make us angry sometimes.

They can say things, do things or act a certain way and just get us riled right up. And most times, the easiest thing to do is to lash out at them and give them a piece of our mind.

Sometimes it may even seem that we’d be justified in doing that.

But words spoken in anger have never done any good, anywhere, in any situation.

There will be times when words need to be spoken with authority or with boldness, but not with anger.

The tone we use when we speak can seriously alter the direction that a conversation takes and, ultimately, the outcome of a discussion or disagreement.

Sometimes a person will simply have their mind made up about something, and nothing we do or say can change them, because of the state their heart is in. But if they are sincere and open to listening and reasoning, words spoken with love and kindness can bring change where nothing else can.

Speak words of kindness, out of love, and watch how things change over time.

We dare you.
