In a Jan 2 devotional found in the 1985 Daily Guideposts, author Zona B. Davis writes about the power of words. She says ...
The 6 most important words are ... "I admit I made a mistake"
The 5 most important words are ... "You did a good job"
The 4 most important words are ... "What is your opinion?"
The 3 most important words are ... "If you please"
The 2 most important words are ... "Thank you"
The 1 most important word is ... "We"
The LEAST importnat words is ... "I"
Proverbs 10:19 says, "When words are many, sin is not absent, be he who holds his tongue is wise." Perhaps when it comes to words, less is more, but when you do need to speak, choose your words well. Today, may God bless you with the abundance of silence and the wisdom of a few good words.
