Friday, January 31 ”” Psalm 18:30-36
Genesis 31:22-55; Matthew 11:25-12:8
Rash words are like sword thrusts, but the tongue of the wise brings healing. Proverbs 12:18
Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen. Ephesians 4:29 (NIV)
God of transformation and change, let your servants be mindful of the effects of the spoken word. Help us to remember to use gentle words and kinder tones. Change our intolerance into patience. Transform our words into a healing salve, drawing the listener closer to you as they see the evidence of your light shining in each of us. In the name of your holy Son. Amen.
