Wisdom
Wise Words
Day 20
"A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger."
— Proverbs 15:1
Reflection
Your words carry power to build or to burn. A soft answer — calm, humble, measured — can disarm a fight before it begins. Harsh words, even when 'true', pour fuel on flames. Wisdom is knowing not just what to say but how and when. Before you speak today, ask three questions: Is it true? Is it kind? Is it necessary? Words spoken in love can heal wounds that years of argument never touched.
Prayer
Lord, set a guard over my mouth. Let my words today be seasoned with grace, bringing peace and not strife. Amen.
Action Step
Before responding in a tense moment today, pause and pray before you speak.
