The Good Life

DAY 5 OF 25

It’s easy to say the wrong thing sometimes. When we’re mad, we say the angry thing. When we’re upset, we say the rude thing. When we want to hurt someone’s feelings, we say the hurtful thing. Even though we know we shouldn’t, sometimes it’s just easier to let the harsh words fly out of our mouths. But the author here reminds us that the better choice is wisdom. When we’re mad, or frustrated, or angry, or hurt, we can still choose to let wisdom lead our words. Though it may take some practice, using wise words in any conversation has the power to change the outcome. Today, pray that God would help you use your words wisely. Ask for His help to use your words wisely this week.
