God’s Infinitesimal Blessings

My impending death, which is very soon, makes me realize how futile life really is. The author of Ecclesiastes was very solemn and depressing sometimes in his views, but they are truths when you really study them. He says, “The words of a wise man’s mouth win him favor, but the lips of a fool consume him” (Eccl. 10:12 ESV).

Words, words, words, too many words. We think too much, we say too much, and we don’t meditate enough. Words can be like blows to the heart. The wrong ones can pierce a heart or touch a soul. “A kind word turns away wrath,” a harsh word can kill like a sword. The tongue is like a viper. It can kill or maim or it can soothe and comfort and heal. Which are you choosing to use today? Let God take control of your tongue and change you.
