Words and Actions
Can my words and actions be beautiful to God?
God’s Response
The LORD detests evil plans, but he delights in pure words. Proverbs 15:26
Timely advice is lovely, like golden apples in a silver basket. Proverbs 25:11
Let everything you say be good and helpful, so that your words will be an encouragement to those who hear them. Ephesians 4:29
It’s really true—what you spend most of your time thinking about and doing is what you become. When you’re tempted to think bad thoughts, train yourself to pray instead. When you’re tempted to gossip or say bad words, compliment or encourage someone. When you’re tempted to do something that will hurt someone, do something good for them instead. Then you will be known as a person who walks with God, always has something good to say, and is always ready to help. That will make you beautiful in God’s sight, and most people will like you as well.
This Is Promising
Let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father. Matthew 5:16
