A soft answer turns away wrath. — Proverbs 15:1

 This subject makes me think of Proverbs 15:1, which states, "A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger." What we say and how we say it affects not only the response we get, but also whether conflict or peace will be the end consequence. If we put the truth of this verse into practice, how many arguments may be avoided and stressful situations could be defused! 

When someone next addresses you in a stern or furious manner, break the pattern by showing humility, calmness of spirit, and loving concern. What a difference a kind response can make in our interpersonal interactions!  

 Try a soft response to get out of a difficult circumstance. When people are furious, they often speak harshly, but Christ would have us turn this trend around by speaking gentle words all the time.

Let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works. — Hebrews 10:24

 One grasshopper leaps across the grass, seemingly unimportant. However, if it teams up with other grasshoppers, the ensuing swarm can quickly consume all the plants in its path. 

Grasshoppers serve as a powerful example of community. Together, they can achieve what they couldn't do apart. The wise man Agur noted in the book of Proverbs that "The locusts have no king, yet they all advance in ranks" (30:27). 

These small creatures have a lesson for us. Together, believers may accomplish far more for the cause of Christ than they ever could individually. 

Christians can exert a powerful influence for God when they work together to serve the Lord.

Even though the New Testament exhorts us to believe in Jesus Christ personally, it says absolutely nothing about a private faith. Both we and other believers are dependent on each other.

Let's take advantage of the unity and camaraderie that exist inside the body of Christ.  

When two Christians are united, they are stronger than one. We all rely on the support we receive from one another because, as Christians, we are united in love and faith.

Taste and see that the Lord is good. — Psalm 34:8

 I've noticed that people who talk of God's goodness the most are typically the ones who are going through the most hardships. They make the decision to put their attention on the Lord's mercy and grace rather than their problems, and in doing so, they experience His goodness. 

Those who give thanks to God during adversity will experience blessing from God as a result.  

Despite difficulties and anxieties arising 

tests that were poorly comprehended 

One thing is certain and cannot be falsified— 

My God is a good and just God.

How can you say to your brother, "Let me remove the speck from your eye"; and look, a plank is in your own eye? — Matthew 7:4

 Both pleasant and beneficial humor can also be cruel and offensive. I've used it to make a point in sermons and to defuse tense situations in meetings. When it exposed my flaws, humor helped me as well. 

God endowed us with the ability to laugh and the gift of humor. When Jesus remarked that one should first take the log out of his own eye before attempting to clean a speck of sawdust from another person's eye (Mt. 7:4), I think He may have been smiling.  

Similar to this, the author of Proverbs (26:13–16) presented a lazy man in three exaggerated word pictures. Although they are funny, they convey a serious message.

Try to use comedy for good, never for harm. 

Humor has a significant impact. Give us the ability to laugh and grin, Lord. However, guard against our lips using unnecessary humor so that the things we say are meaningful.

If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, . . . then I will . . . forgive their sin. — 2 Chronicles 7:14

 We must seek the face of our heavenly Father in order to maintain harmony with Him (Ps. 27:8). We could feel remorse, dissatisfaction, rage, or hurt toward God. However, there is the time when we must accept His invitation to look to Him, particularly if the fellowship has been shattered. 

The fear of losing a close relationship with Him should be our main worry. Seeing His face in the Bible and in the marvelous gift of prayer should be our greatest joy. In this manner, we will be able to rest assured that our relationship is healthy.

  The essence of prayer is heartfelt prayer. We will desire to be with God before the throne of grace more the more we approach God in prayer with the intention of seeking His face.

Enoch walked with God. — Genesis 5:22

 What would you say your spiritual life is like? Is it characterized by consistent progress as you walk in community with Jesus and gain knowledge from Him every day? Or is it more like a roller coaster ride that goes up and down, with intense periods and then periods of indifference? 

Would someone who was watching our lives describe our discipleship as "fits and starts" or as "a stream from a living spring"? Could we claim to have "walked with God" like Enoch did? (Gen. 5:22).

Let's start a steady stroll with our Lord in prayer if our discipleship has felt like a roller coaster. 

Discipline is needed for discipleship. Please, Jesus, take hold of my heart and hands and grant me this so that I may become more and more like You each day via Your lovely love.

Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, . . . and you will find rest for your souls. — Matthew 11:29

 Many Christians are distressed and anxious. Their souls are still in turmoil even though they are enjoying the "rest" of redemption that comes with sin forgiveness and are anticipating the eternal "rest" of paradise. They appear to be constantly weighed down by the troubles of life, filled with fear and doubt. 

Their source of distress can be identified by taking a deeper look at their anxiousness. They lack the "quietness and confidence" (Isa. 30:15) that comes from daily fellowship with the Lord through Bible study and prayer because they have never learned to rest in the Lord.

  Don't allow yourself to fall prey to pointless worrying. If you do, you'll forfeit the happiness and calm that are naturally yours. Instead, allot some time each day to communicate with God and express your gratitude for who He is and what He has done for you. Reading His Word and holding fast to His consoling promises will help your faith develop, and a spiritual calm will overflow into your heart. 

In response, Jesus responded, "Come to Me, and I will give you rest" (Mt. 11:28). Do you know how to rest in Him? 

God gives us His serenity in our hearts when we entrust Him with our worries.

Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it. — Psalm 81:10

 The verse in Psalm 81:10 that reads, "I am the Lord your God... ; open your mouth wide, and I will fill it" comes to mind as I reflect on those childhood memories. However, the Israelites rejected God's kind offer, and He "gave them over to their own stubborn heart, to walk in their own counsels" (v. 12). The Bible states that if they had accepted God's offer, "He would have fed them also with the finest of wheat; and with honey from the rock" (v. 16). 

God yearns to nourish us spiritually. As we study His Word, participate in group worship, hear from obedient Bible teachers, read books with uplifting spiritual themes, and depend on Him every day, He will also sate our spiritual hunger.

We will suffer spiritual hunger and fail to develop if we reject God's provisions. But rest assured that if we open our mouths widely, God will fill them. 

Let God fill you if you want a life of fulfillment. 

The Savior is absolutely satiating. 

the heart that the world is unable to satisfy; 

His presence will completely sanctify. 

the surrendered and calm soul.

He who glories, let him glory in the Lord. — 2 Corinthians 10:17

 The National Geographic Society's research offers some unique insights into chimpanzee behavior. Observers noted how a dramatic bluff employed by one of the colony's lowest members caused the leadership of a chimpanzee group to change. 

Unfortunately, the church may also experience comparable circumstances. The most active people frequently get the most respect and recognition. However, a large program and a charismatic personality are not always signs of heavenly favor. 

Paul cautioned against judging things by their outward appearance (2 Corinthians 10:7).

The true test of our work is whether it reflects God's glory rather than our own and is in accordance with His Word.

Make sure everything you do is for the Lord. When you finally triumph, it will be in Him! 

Self-glorification and the exaltation of Christ cannot coexist. Help us to keep God's splendor clear and His light from being dimmed by our selfish desires. May we hold every thought captive to Christ and empty it to make room for Him.

Who has bewitched you that you should not obey the truth? — Galatians 3:1

 It served as yet another example of how others have the ability to alter our perspective. We painstakingly teach our kids appropriate speech patterns, yet even that can be undone by the impact of one friend. 

Consider the impact of this idea on far more significant decisions. Think about Ahaziah from 2 Chronicles. His mother influenced him to act improperly (v. 3). The outcome was that "He did evil in the sight of the Lord" (v. 4). Ahaziah undoubtedly benefited from the guidance of his righteous grandpa Jehoshaphat, but it was Athaliah's malevolent influence that set him on the wrong path.

We are easily tricked! In order to avoid being influenced by negative people or things, we must have a close relationship with our Father, the origin of all that is good and right. 

Carefully select your friends since you don't want to end up like them. Make sure the people you trust are guided by God every day; if they follow the devil, they might mislead you.

When they came to the nations, wherever they went, they profaned My holy name. — Ezekiel 36:20

 This man, like the individuals Paul described in Romans 1, decided not "to retain God in [his] knowledge" (v. 28). His choice was influenced by his own rebellious nature and by negative encounters. 

The elements that went into this man's conclusion should test those of us who follow Christ. He claimed that among the Christians he has encountered and transacted business with, he has seen little evidence of Christlikeness. And all of this took place in a city that is awash in churches. He has noticed that many people who identify as Christians are just as avaricious, dishonest, cruel, ungrateful, and dissatisfied as non-Christians. Such Christians "profane the Lord's name" and offer unbelievers a reason to reject God, just like the Israelites in Ezekiel's time.

Lord, help me to be the kind of Christian who will make it impossible for unbelievers to reject You. I want my existence to be a benefit, not a burden. 

Either Christians are Bibles or they are liars. 

How will individuals in the darkness of sin be led, assisted, and prevailed upon if Christians conceal their brilliant light and do not reflect God's Son?
