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.

Is Your Heart in Anguish?

Is Your Heart in Anguish?

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those whose hearts are in anguish. In Jesus’ name, amen.

“Ever have the urge to just fly away? David, the psalmist, did. His heart was in anguish. He was trembling. He was overwhelmed with horror.

In Psalm 55:4-8 (ESV) David says what he would do if he had wings.

“My heart is in anguish within me;
the terrors of death have fallen upon me.
Fear and trembling come upon me,
and horror overwhelms me.
And I say, “Oh, that I had wings like a dove!
I would fly away and be at rest;
yes, I would wander far away;
I would lodge in the wilderness; Selah
I would hurry to find a shelter
from the raging wind and tempest.”

Want to escape? Unable to fly away? Trust God. He will provide.

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.”

I’ll Fly Away?

I’ll Fly Away?

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom, for one day I will fly away. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Today the average life expectancy is between seventy-eight and seventy-nine years.

The famous song by Alan Jackson, “I’ll Fly Away,” has a powerful message throughout , especially in the first verse and the refrain.

Some glad morning when this life is over
“I’ll fly away
To a home on God’s celestial shore
I’ll fly away

I’ll fly away, oh, Glory
I’ll fly away
When I die, Hallelujah, by and by
I’ll fly away”

Psalm 90:9-10 makes note of the years of our lives and flying away.

“For all our days pass away under your wrath;
we bring our years to an end like a sigh.
The years of our life are seventy,
or even by reason of strength eighty;
yet their span is but toil and trouble;
they are soon gone, and we fly away.”

Toil and trouble are different for each person. Are you prepared for what happens with age? Be aware that God will walk with you to the end. Live life for God whatever your age.
