The tongue is as powerful as a ship’s rudder
The right word spoken at the right time
is as beautiful as gold apples in a silver bowl.A wise warning to someone who will listen
is as valuable as gold earrings or fine gold jewelry. – Proverbs 25:11-12 NCV
Nothing can change a situation faster than words. Even the words I select in this post will determine your decision to finish reading it.
Like the Proverb writer, we love to be around those that always seem to know just the right words to say. Right or wrong, we choose our leaders, form opinions and make life altering decisions based on the words of others.
But we can be like that for them!
Not all of us need to be great orators, but training our tongue is a God given duty. It is how we are able to carry out the great commission. (Matthew 28:18-20) Look at what James said about the power of the tongue: James 3:2-10. When offering God to others, let’s make sure our words right ones spoken at the right time.
