It is amazing how much power we have in our mouth. It is not only what we say but how, and how often. Your gentle response can calm down an anger attack. As long as you don’t let that anger get into you, you can still help. Put sweetness in your words, and let God wisdom flow into your heart. This will make your speech heal and instill wisdom to others.
A gentle response defuses anger,
but a sharp tongue kindles a temper-fire.
2 Knowledge flows like spring water from the wise;
fools are leaky faucets, dripping nonsense.
3 God doesn’t miss a thing—
he’s alert to good and evil alike.
4 Kind words heal and help;
cutting words wound and maim.
(Prov.15:1-4 MSG)
Prayer: Fill my heart with gentleness. Flow with Your wisdom through my mind and mouth. Fill my heart with Your word and wisdom to spread healing and help to everybody around me.
