Your way of life affects others. Every decision you make will make you and others enjoy or pay the consequences. You can be a blessing to your city, to your neighborhood, your co-workers, friends and family. It depends on what direction you want your life to go. Open your mind. God wants to guide you. Let Him.
When right-living people bless the city, it flourishes;
evil talk turns it into a ghost town in no time.
12 Mean-spirited slander is heartless;
quiet discretion accompanies good sense.
13 A gadabout gossip can’t be trusted with a secret,
but someone of integrity won’t violate a confidence.
14 Without good direction, people lose their way;
the more wise counsel you follow, the better your chances.
15 Whoever makes deals with strangers is sure to get burned;
if you keep a cool head, you’ll avoid rash bargains.
16 A woman of gentle grace gets respect,
but men of rough violence grab for loot.
(Prov.11:11-16 MSG)
Prayer: I want to bless the city, the neighborhood, friends and coworkers. I want the glory of God to affect every person and area where I go. I want to be someone that can be trusted. Help me to listen to wise counsel, to be gentle and graceful. Only you can transform me like that. I worship You my God.
