Today’s meditation is from the group “Lead Like Jesus,” a group founded by author Ken Blanchard with the mission of glorifying God by inspiring and equipping people to lead like Jesus.
How effective are you at influencing others through your words? The wise person considers how to share their knowledge in ways that will draw people’s interest and attention. Considering what to say, how much to say and when to say it, are all elements of wise speech. Talking with God about the matter before we talk with others is always a good idea. Asking Him to sort through our words and anoint them so that they are appealing will infuse our words with appropriate humility and confidence.
Prayer:
Written by Scott Cairns, a contemporary American poet, professor, librettist, and spiritual essayist.
Lamb of God and Good Shepherd, Holy Servant and Holy King, Infant Child and Eternal Lord Whom the Heavens Cannot Contain, teach us what we are to cry aloud. Bless our tongues with words that lead us and others truly to the Word. Now and ever, and unto the ages. Amen.
