You cannot stop people's tongues, and therefore the best thing to do is to stop your own ears and never mind what is spoken. -Spurgeon
Proverbs 25:11 - A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver.
With the average person speaking over 100 words per minute, it is needless to say that words are important and we need to use them wisely. As we look to Christ Jesus as our example, we should always use our words to exalt, exhort, and exemplify His grace! As we do that we will be exhorting, praying, loving, greeting, forgiving, forbearing, teaching, admonishing, edifying, considering, and comforting one another in order to see them come to Christ or continue in Him.
This morning, ask the Lord to give you an opportunity to share the right words with the right people at the right time because words matter!
