dW
Today’s dW is a submission that was sent to me.
thought
Some co-workers of mine were planning where they were going to go to lunch. One of the group tossed out a suggestion and the others weren’t too enthusiastic about it. When that person making the suggestion left the group’s midst, the others began talking about him in a disparaging manner. I overheard the conversation and found this to be very distressing. I was reminded of being in junior high school when one hears this sort of thing all the time. As adults, we hope to have left that kind of pettiness behind us. As slaves to Christ, how much more so!
scripture
Ephesians 4:1, 29
As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received. 2 Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. … Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.
En Espanol, Efesios 4:1, 29
These verses challenge me on a daily basis to exercise ‘self control ‘ (Gal. 5:23) and to keep control of my tongue (James 3) so that others around me will benefit and be built up, not torn down.
