A Word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver.
Proverbs 25:11
Words can break or words can build, but when brought in the power of the Holy Spirit words can minister in countless situations and scenarios. I often pray in the morning, “Lord give me the words to say today in any and every situation; let my words be your words.” We should have a desire that our words will count for the glory of God and for the good of those whom God brings across our path as well as our loved ones. Our words should be anchored in and seasoned liberally with the precepts and truths that are found in the Bible.
Shamefully I say to you that before I was saved my tongue was wicked and my words were sprinkled with filth and garbage that spewed out of me at an alarming rate. It’s been said, “In the country they say what’s down in the well comes up in the bucket.” Though simple this old saying has a ton of truth to it. But glory to God I am a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. One of the first things that God did was to change my vocabulary. Just one example of God’s mighty power!
I want to simply and plainly put some scripture in front of you in hope that God works powerfully through His precious word and meets with you personally as you take time to meditate upon it. You have an opportunity in 2014 for God to do a powerful work thru you- in your home, your church, on the job, in the streets and in the stores. We don’t live in a pew. It is time to get out of the salt shaker and be salt and light in a lost hell bound and hurting world. We are called to go and so we should carry with us those things that are preached and taught from the pastor and the preachers out into the world. It is time to build up our brothers and sisters in Christ, but not at the expense of the truth. I am speaking of everyday living. Make an impact with your words for the cause of Christ.
Consider:
I. A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger. Proverbs 15:1
II. Heaviness in the heart of man maketh it stoop: but a good word maketh it glad. Proverbs 12:25
III. By long forebearing is a prince persuaded, and a soft tongue breaketh bone. Proverbs 25:15
