Words have the power to impact our emotions and affect our lives. A word spoken in anger often inflames anger in another person’s soul. An encouraging word spoken at the proper time and in the right way has the power to bring joy. Wise counsel can bring peace to the hearer.
Psalm 85:8-9 says, “Let me hear what God the LORD will speak, for he will speak peace to his people, to his saints; but let them not turn back to folly. Surely his salvation is near to those who fear him, that glory may dwell in our land.” Listening to and understanding what God has to say to us brings peace to our hearts and souls. Proclaiming His Word to others brings glory to those we serve.
