USE WORDS THE RIGHT WAY

LIGHT FOR THE WAY

(Daily Devotional)

TOPIC: USE WORDS THE RIGHT WAY

TEXT: "A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger" (Proverbs 15:1).

Words can be the building blocks of relationships or the hammer that pull it down. Some people are naturally calm and hardly get worked up about much of anything. Others, who probably comprise a larger portion of the

population, find it easier to speak their mind in whatever tone of voice they find necessary in the

heat of the moment. Of course, if you’re a

speak-your-mind kind of person, it is likely that people aren’t going to mistake your point. However, just because people know where you stand on an issue doesn’t mean they are jumping

on board with you. In fact, depending on how you communicated your point, your listeners may

withdraw from you simply based on how you spoke to them. While there is a time and place for words to be bold and direct, most of the time

soft words that come with an approving tone

cause your hearers to be far more open to your ideas and opinions. Most of the time the propblem is not what said but the way we said it.Think of those you deal with every day and even

those you meet throughout your business day.

Look for ways to uplift them, even when you need to say some things that may not always be

what they want to hear. Everyone needs to be affirmed and wants to hear a soft word, especially when they are having to face some hard facts. Let this be a day to say things the right way

THE PROPHETIC WORD WORD FOR TODAY

The Sovereign LORD  says today, you are one who loves deeply and commits strongly. This gets you into trouble occasionally and leaves you vulnerable to a spirit of rejection. I am healing you on the inside from that rejected spirit. Self-pity and despondency will lift off of you today. No longer will you seek the honor that comes only from men. I will content you with the honor that comes from the throne. Do not be troubled when you are despised of men. When men despise you on the earth, the angels applaud you in the heavens. When friends and family abandon you on the earth, angels rally around you in the heavens. You are mine....
