A Soft Word Turns Away Wrath!

A Soft Word Turns Away Wrath!

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those whose soft words turn away wrath. In Jesus’s name, amen.

Mike Rowe and Matt Crouch are on Trinity Broadcasting Network on Sunday nights with a program titled The Story Behind the Story. As the story is told by Mike, it is brought to life for viewers to see.

Few people know that Bob Ross was 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 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.

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.”

If you have been known for harsh words, change and become known for your soft answers.

Happy New Year!

As this year concludes, take a few minutes to reflect on the last twelve months.

Question 4: Is there anything you would do differently next time?

Question 5: What were the top three challenges you faced or are still facing?

Question 6: What steps can you take to assure next year will be better than this past year?

Take as little or as much time answering these questions as you want.

This is by no means a comprehensive list, so I give you permission to make up your own questions.

God Has Delivered?

God Has Delivered?

Dear Lord, I ask for wisdom for those God has delivered. In Jesus’ name, amen.

God hears the prayers of the faithful. It is affirming when God answers prayer positively. Yet, he can answer prayer with “yes;” “no;” and “wait.” There are a lot of other gradations in between.

Psalm 34:4-7 (ESV) is about when God answers prayers and delivers:

“I sought the Lord, and he answered me
and delivered me from all my fears.
Those who look to him are radiant,
and their faces shall never be ashamed.
This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him
and saved him out of all his troubles.
The angel of the Lord encamps
around those who fear him, and delivers them.”

Ask the God of the universe to intervene in your life. Pray. Now.
