September 29: Make a Joyful Noise.
Be Careful What You Say and How You Say It.
The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive....From a wise mind comes wise speech; the words of the wise are persuasive. Kind words are like honey--sweet to the soul and healthy for the body.--Proverbs 16:21, 23, 24, NLT
WORDS OF CHEER and encouragement spoken when the soul is sick and the pulse of courage is low--these are regarded by the Saviour as if spoken to Himself. As hearts are cheered, the heavenly angels look on in pleased recognition.--The Ministry of Healing, 159.
The grace of Christ is to control the tempter and the voice. Its working will be seen in politeness and tender regard shown by brother for brother, in kind, encouraging words.--Christ's Object Lessons, 102.
The influence of the mind on the body, as well as of the body on the mind, should be emphasized....The depressing and even ruinous effect of anger, discontent, selfishness, or impurity, and, on the other hand, the marvelous life-giving power to be found in cheerfulness, unselfishness, gratitude, should also be shown....
..."Pleasant words" the Scripture declares to be not only "sweet to the soul," but "health to the bones." Proverbs 16:24.--Education, 197.
"And I tell you this, you must give an account
on judgment day for every idle word you speak.
The words you say will either acquit you or condemn you."
--Matthew 12:36, 37, NLT
