Ponder Yet Be Silent

Tremble and do not sin; when you are on your beds, search your hearts and be silent. Psalm 4:4

“Anger rests in the bosom of fools” it says in Ecclesiastes 7:9. Words and their usage is so vital to relationships.  Every person from a teacher, coach, parents, siblings, spouses,  pastors can build up someone or ridicule and belittle them leaving a scar for life. Who doesn’t remember being called a name by a school bully? 

God is almighty and his words are never hurtful but are used to teach, soothe, educate, and guide you to a relationship with him. An earthly father may have messed up using words that stung and still stick with you today. 

Today is the day of new beginnings choosing to forgive hurts that words caused and not to seek revenge. 

PRAYER: Use me Lord to speak kindness and encouragement to those around me even a stranger we might encounter during the day. Help me not be guilty of being hurtful with my words. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
