There will be times when you may become irritated with the way someone is speaking to you. Your first thought may be to retaliate, but is that what the Lord would want you to do? In a small town where it was necessary to go through a telephone operator to place a telephone call, one pastor had to call three times, because the first two times the operator gave him the wrong number. Each time he spoke very nicely to her and didn’t get angry. After he was connected to the right person, the operator asked the person at the next switchboard who the man was. When she was told that he was the pastor of a local church, she decided to go to his church. Ask the Lord to direct your words and thoughts today, so that you will be void of offence toward God and man.
Colossians 4:6 Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one.
Father, let my life so shine that others might see Your reflection in me. We’re not human beings having a temporary spiritual experience, but spiritual beings having a temporary human experience.
