Want to influence someone for good? Speak with the wisdom of God.
Ron: Want to influence someone for good? Speak with the wisdom of God.
Announcer: For FamilyLife Blended®, here’s Ron Deal.
Ron: Words are funny. They can push people away or invite them closer. Harsh or critical words with co-workers, for example, will result in people moving away from us. But compassionate, insightful words will bring them closer. The same is true with children, spouses, ex-spouses, and family members.
Of course, foolish people are double trouble. They have a “closed mind” and an “open mouth” but according to Proverbs 18 wise words are like fresh water from a fountain that just keeps coming. Where do you get wise words? Study God’s word and commit it to heart and you will speak and influence those around you with the wisdom of God. For FamilyLife Blended I’m Ron Deal.
