A Soft Word Turns Away Wrath!
Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who know a soft word turns away wrath. In Jesus’ name, amen.
I was just watching TBN. Mike Rowe was the subject to the show because he has a podcast The Way I Heard It. The episode was about Bob Ross. TBN had turned the podcast into a video. Few people know that Bob Ross had been a drill sergeant before he became famous for teaching painting on PBS. After years of yelling at troops, he became well-known for his soft-spoken manner.
Proverbs 15:1 (ESV) was quoted during the broadcast.
“A soft answer turns away wrath,
but a harsh word stirs up anger.”
What is your preference? A soft answer? Harsh words? Choose wisely.
If you have been known for harsh words, change and become known for your soft answers.
