Bible Verse of The Day – 5-16-19

Job 6:24 (NKJV) 24 “Teach me, and I will hold my tongue; Cause me to understand wherein I have erred.

Our words are powerful, whether we say good or bad things. They can bring pain, sorrow and confusion, or they can encourage, enlighten, and lift up.

We have to make an honest effort ahead of time to want to say and do the right things with our words. It’s not an easy task, and we can say something in a split second that we may regret.

Psalm 39:1 (NKJV) 1 I said, “I will guard my ways, Lest I sin with my tongue; I will restrain my mouth with a muzzle, While the wicked are before me.”

We all know how easy it is to spew out things when we are caught off guard. You can actually feel the anger rising when we have been slapped with harsh, rude or disrespectful words. It’s not easy to hold back.

Psalm 39:3 (NKJV) 3 My heart was hot within me; While I was musing, the fire burned. Then I spoke with my tongue:

But making an effort and reassuring ourselves to say and do the right thing in the heat of the moment will help when we face such things.

The rest we need to leave up to the Holy Spirit to give us the strength and wisdom to reply back with a good and positive reaction.

As we speak with our words according to the way we should, our emotions will follow along. Words can make or break someone, and we will feel better if we are on the “making” end of the stick.

So how can we “make” someone today? Get ready to use our mouths as a powerful instrument and change the world, one word at a time.

Proverbs 18:21 (NKJV) 21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit.

Focus on making, not breaking. Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-18-15

James 1:19 (NKJV) 19 So then, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath;

These are very sound words of advice for every single one of us.

Many lives are changed forever by words spoken hastily or in anger.

Angry words, or words spoken without thinking about them first, can do irreparable damage to relationships and to the hearts of those we love.

Yes, those words can be forgiven, but they can never be taken back. Once words are spoken, they remain forever in the ears, the mind and the heart of the one they were spoken to.

When situations arise where there is tension, and discussions become heated, how very important it is that we take our time before speaking.

When something pops into our mind to say, we need to let the Holy Spirit filter it and be sure that it’s what He wants us to speak, not what we want to say because our emotions are running high.

So, first off, if we have spoken out of anger to anyone and caused them to be hurt, we need to drop our pride and go to them, and apologize, asking them to forgive us. It doesn’t matter what they might have said that hurt us. We need to hold ourselves accountable to God.

How the other person handles it is between them and God, not between them and us.

And once we have apologized to the people we have hurt, we need to ask God to help us in this area, so we don’t fall prey to this again and hurt others.

Listen; be swift to hear. Think; be slow to speak. Stay calm; be slow to anger.
