Ecclesiastes 10:11-26
GRACIOUS WORDS
Words are powerful; they can bring healing, curse, blessing and condemnation or inflict injury on the heart. When words are released from the fountain of Wisdom, it is like cold water down the throat of a thirsty man. When words spring from the foolish heart of anger and hatred, it only brings destruction. God expects us to speak as His oracle. We speak as God's oracle when our words stem from the word of God regarding every situation. When we declare healing to the sick, proclaim love to the hated, declare liberty upon the oppressed according to the Scriptures, God multiplies grace upon them for their salvation. Our words will definitely be devoid of wisdom if the word of God does not pervade our hearts.
It is not so for the fool. They are rather consumed by their own lips, and multiply the sorrows of their hearers. Before we speak, whether in a Christian or social gathering, let us make sure that we draw inspiration from the Holy Spirit, for only then can our words accomplish God's purpose, and be counted as gracious, saving us from unnecessary troubles.
PRAYER: Lord, may my words be filled with Your wisdom and bring healing to the hurt.
