Two sayings Come to my Mind this Morning
The first is a verse of scripture that I have discussed before in my Seasoned Grace Blog before.
Proverbs 25:11A Word Fitly Spoken is like Apples of Gold In Settings of Silver
Let the words savour in your mind a bit. Stop right here! Think clearly about the process. To mak sure our are indeed, Words Fitly Spoken, they must be Carefully Thought Out and Crafted.
How are our words assimilated? How will they likely be received?
Do I pray before speaking or writing? Do my words reflect the Mind of Christ?
This verse is telling! Are my words conducive to be received in Love and Grace?
The second is a simple response to a daily question we often ask of others. The question, asked out of courtesy, is "How are you?".
Dave Ramsey always responds, "Better than I Deserve". Do we truly grasp how much we are Blessed of God in spite of ourselves? It then makes sense that our Words are so Important.
Our Words must carry an Attitude of Love and Grace.
How important our words to all mankind today are. I must confess, I make the mistake of failing to observe my speech without regard to the wisdom of these words of scripture.
