Everyone enjoys a fitting reply; it is wonderful to say the right thing at the right time!
-Proverbs 15:23 (NLT)
RIGHT WORDS AT THE RIGHT TIME
A poem and essay by ILMA
Do you think before words come out of your mouth?
Do you wait for the right time before you blurt out?
Everyone enjoys a fitting reply through the right words
Do you conform with God’s truth or with the world?
Right words at the right timing is crucial in relationships
It builds up good relations instead of conflicts
We must all take time to choose what we say
By doing this, we can triumph and keep Satan away.

Have you ever said something that later on you regretted saying? The bible says that we should be slow to speak and quick to listen in James 1:19. When we put a rend in our mouths, we are actually guarding ourselves from one of the biggest trick that the enemy does to us. He loves to steal, kill and destroy. More often, he would just whisper lies to us and make us react to little or trivial matters and make us fight with others. Satan knows how to steal our time, money, peace, relationships. Shouldn’t we be able to take time to understand how we can fight this unseen battle? One way we could fight him is to choose our words and say it in God’s timing.
PRAYER
Lord, help me to rend my mouth.
REFLECTION
What makes us say the wrong things at the wrong time?
