Have you ever said something you regret? Done something you are embarrassed about? I know I have. And when I am honest with myself, every time that happens(and it is often) it is rooted in self-reliance. I say and do what I think is right. And it is always wrong.
True knowledge and wisdom belongs to the Lord. When He goes before us in speech and action the power and effectiveness of what we are communicating is without compare.
What does it mean to be unfaithful in such a way that leads to "frustrated words"? Are you in God's word, are you in prayer? Are you vetting your conversations and life through a lens that is God's truth? When Christ is your center, it will define the type of words you will use, and how and when you use them!
Steps this week to speak more wisely:
1) Get in the word. When you expose yourself to Scripture consistently it begins to shape the way you think and talk. Start each morning in the word and let it be the guide to your words.
2) As you have conversations this week, have a running thought going through your head; "God, what should I say in this moment?" And here is the key to that, the one I forget, actually listen!
What are some ways that you seek to have more God centered wisdom in your life?
