“A Soft Answer” Wednesday, June 18, 2025
Key Verse
“A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger” (Proverbs 15:1).
Text —Proverbs 15:1-4
Message
Two contrasting scenarios in the Book of Judges portray the truth of today’s text. Gideon was challenged by the men of Ephraim and his soft answer averted what could have brought a destructive war (Judges 8:1-3). A few years later, the quarrelsome Ephraimites met their match in an equally short-tempered Jephthah. He was a Gileadite from the tribe of Gad. Rough words flew back and forth, and a devastating war broke out between the two tribes. By the time the dust cleared, 42,000 Israelites were dead (Judges 12:1-6). Speaking the right words would have prevented that.
The heart and the mouth are connected, therefore grace in the heart produces graciousness in the lips. Graciousness is the ability to speak words that promote peace and harmony in otherwise tense situations. Opportunities to exhibit grace or else bad manners will arise every day in the home, at school, or on the streets. Unsaved youths lose the battle every time; they speak bad words, show rude manners even to elders, they have no respect for anyone. Today is International Day for Countering Hate Speech.
Quote
The heart and the mouth are connected
Challenge
Practice graciousness in your speech today.
Prayer for today
Set a watch before my mouth, O Lord.

Oh baby girl, I know right. Thanks for stopping by.
DeleteI love museums that give the history of an area. I've been to some towns that just look like nothing and then I've wandered through their museums (and I've seen so many beautiful small museums just loaded with history). I've never been in one established in the early 15th century, though! Maybe you can paint us a verbal picture of some of the neatest things you saw inside? The entrance is intriguing and the outside areas are beautiful. And you guys look so cute in the pictures!
