Words, Eph 4:29-32 (The Mirror Bible), “Instead of cheap talk, your mouth is now a fountain of grace, giving encouragement and inspiration to everyone within earshot. Holy Spirit is your signet ring from God to confirm that you are redeemed to live your life in the light of day; any conduct that belongs to the night grieves Him. Take up the strongest possible position against every form of distorted behavior in your own life. Do not allow yourself to be spiteful; outbursts of violent emotion and rage do not become you. You don’t have to shout in order to make your point. People must feel safe in your conversation; therefore, slander and hurtful words [blasphemy] are out. Be inspired by kindness and compassion; your forgiving one another when you might feel irritated and frustrated demonstrates the way God graciously treated us in Christ.”

Our words are very powerful. In fact, they have life and death in them. We all have heard the phrase “if you don’t have anything good to say then don’t say anything at all.” There is so much truth in that statement. In times of stress and conflict, that’s when we should be quiet.

Proverbs 15 :1 (TPT) “Respond gently when you are confronted and you’ll defuse the rage of another. Responding with sharp, cutting words will only make it worse. Don’t you know that being angry can ruin the testimony of even the wisest of men?”

Let us tame the tongue and answer with kindness — even when we might be right!

Be a Blessing, Sir Gregory
