Words are POWERFUL, and when used correctly they
can inspire, empower, and enable people - and even whole nations -
to go above and beyond. On the other hand,
a wrong word spoken thoughtlessly in haste can be equally
powerful and lead to devastating results, therefore it is
vital to always choose your words carefully.
Many a public figure — be they a celebrity, politician,
or person of prominence — have hurt their reputation by
saying the wrong thing
at the wrong time. This also happens in business meetings,
social events, or family gatherings - and the aftermath and playback
for a misspoken word or comment can last days, months, or even years.
As today’s scripture verse reminds us, be slow to speak,
never speak out of anger and guard your tongue AND LISTEN! and then you will
Never have to apologize for something you DIDN’T SAY!
