A man has joy by the answer of his mouth, And a word spoken in due season, how good it is! Pr15.23 NKJV
I am always encouraged when someone sends in a word that a particular devotional was just what they needed to hear that day. One feels blessed to be used by the Lord to encourage others especially in a timely fashion.
The wisdom offered in the word above is simple; take care with your words and your words will take care of you. Words are powerful and can work great good or evil.
We have all heard the words, “Speak only when you are spoken to.” And , though it may not capture the original usage of this expression, I would say that the percentage that others will find joy in our words, will increase in direct proportion when we speak only what Christ has spoken to us. 10/22/07 ts
Just me trying to be honest with God.
