The tongue has the power of life and death.—Proverbs 18:21
Right away Emily felt uneasy with her attitude. You are part of that family. What would you like to do differently to change the day? She asked herself. She decided she wanted to privately tell each person she was thankful to the Lord that they were her sister, niece, brother, or great-niece. When the day arrived, she expressed her thankfulness for them one by one, and they all felt loved.
It wasn’t easy because it wasn’t normal conversation in her family, but she experienced joy as she shared her love for each of them.
“Let everything you say be good and helpful,” wrote the apostle Paul, “so that your words will be an encouragement to those who hear them” (Eph. 4:29). Our words of thanks can remind others of their value to us and to God.
The human spirit fills with hope at the sound of an encouraging word.
Father God…You are Creative!
Isaiah 45:18
For this is what the LORD says— he who created the heavens, he is God; he who fashioned and made the earth, he founded it; he did not create it to be empty, but formed it to be inhabited— he says: “I am the LORD, and there is no other.
John 9:3
"Neither this man nor his parents sinned," said Jesus, "but this happened so that the work of God might be displayed in his life."
Thoughts on This Verse....
Let's ask God to help us view people through the eyes of Jesus so that we will see them as people in whom the work of God needs to be done.
And just what is this work of God? Well, Jesus answered that question this way: To believe in the One he has sent! (John 6:28-29)
For lighter side...
Where is the first tennis match mentioned in the Bible?
When Joseph served in Pharaoh’s court.
