A gentle answer turns away wrath" 15:1 ProverbsEARLY MORNING SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON
If you're an organized, time-conscious purpose-driven, make it happen kind of person you can get upset with incompetence and low productivity in others. And you can end up speaking words that hurt them and don't bring the result you hope for. In Proverbs chapter 31 here's how the Biblical character Solomon describes a wise woman: " On her tongue is the law of kindness (v.26 NKJV). Speaking ...kindly to and about others was one of this woman's core principles. And when you think about it, there's never any justification for being harsh or unkind in your communication.
Especially, if you are a so called "Christian". Hasn't the Most High been gracious with you? Then extend that same grace to others. The old adage, "Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me," isn't true Harsh words can impact a person for a lifetime. Many so-called "social outcasts" have been victims of verbal abuse at some point in their lives. They have suffered at the hands of parents, teachers, insecure spouses, and other battling their own emotional issues. If you find you're prone to speaking harshly to people, pray for the Most High's help (Higher Consciousness).
