Proverbs 15:23
A man hath joy by the answer of his mouth: and a word spoken in due season, how good is it!
What of Today’s Verse…
Knowing the right word at the right time is a great gift. But even the best of speakers has to admit that the best of his or her words are not nearly as good as those the Spirit gives. Nevertheless, we must not excuse ourselves of insensitive speech, unkindness, or even missed opportunities because we were not paying attention to what was said, were not spiritually in tune with the needs of our companions, or simply did not know Scripture well enough to bless others with gracious speech at the appropriate time.
Let us Pray:
Loving Shepherd, I will spend much of my time today with people. Some of them know you, but most do not. Please give me wisdom to say things that lead people closer to you. Give me words of help and hope for the broken. Give me words of tenderness for the fainting. Give me words of direction for the confused. Father, I pray that whatever words I say today may reflect your will and be led by your purposes. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.
Words of Wisdom
To my mind, democracy is more compassionate, more harmonious, and friendlier than any other system. It respects others’ rights and considers others equally as human brothers and sisters. Although you might disagree with them, you have to respect their wishes.
