Proverbs 15:1 A soft answer turns away wrath, but grievous words stir up anger.

What words are you speaking? Are they soft or grievous? Are your spoken words of love or hate? Are your words joining people together as one or are they separating and causing division among them? Are your words healing or hurting others?

“The words of the reckless pierce like swords, but the tongue of the wise brings healing” Prov. 12:18, NIV).

The Bible has a lot to say about guarding the tongue and being careful what you say. But it has even more to say about speaking the right words, using words to heal, benefit and build people up and not hurtful words that tears down.

If we all could be honest for a moment, we know that it is better to give a soft answer than a grievous one. We all have been hurt or offended by the words of someone and we know how it makes us feel, therefore, be very careful of the words you speak for it may save someone’s life.

When our words are those of healing and comfort and not wrath and condemnation, we are more likely to use the opportunity to convince others of God’s truth that is found in His Word.

People of God, let us start today in reducing our chances of making more enemies by using words that heal instead of words that bring about pain, hatred and disunity.

People of God, think before you speak! “Do you see a man who is hasty in his words? There is more hope for a fool than for him” Prov. 19:20, NLT).

What words are you speaking? Are they soft or grievous words? Are your words that heals others or hurt them?

Ponder these questions on today and seek the Word of God to help you make a change in the words you speak if you have been speaking words that produces wrath, anger and enemies.

God bless!
