PROVERBS 15:4; 16:24; 18:21
Our lives can change suddenly because of others. Bruce Springsteen, a rock ānā roll icon, was influenced by music during a tough childhood and ongoing battle with depression. He confessed that he realised the right song can change someone’s life in just three minutes.
Well-chosen words from others have the power to transform our lives and inspire hope, much like powerful songs. Conversations with teachers, encouraging words, or gentle words from friends can have a lasting impact on us.
The book of Proverbs emphasises the importance of cherishing and using words wisely, as they can have life-or-death consequences. Words can either crush someone’s spirit or nourish and strengthen others.
Not everyone can make powerful music, but we can all use our words to serve others and seek God’s wisdom.
šLord, please let us appreciate the gift of language and use our words to help others and share hope in Jesus’ name.
