HOW DO YOU SPEAK?
Sirach 5:10-11
Be established in your understanding
And let your word be consistent.
Be quick to listen
And give your answer with patience.
Personal Challenge
One of my go-to phrases from our Lord Jesus Christ is, "May your "Yes" be "Yes" and your "No" be "No"". This passage today reinforces that teaching. Our speech should always ring with consistency. We should stand by our word and correct it when we know that we have spoken (or typed/posted) in error. Our word should always be guided by the understanding that God gives us. But maybe the most important skill to develop is patience. We will eliminate many offenses and errors by being patient before we speak, being quick to listen and slow to speak. Glory be to God!
