Hope you’ve been focusing on the road ahead and haven’t been trying any Rear View Mirror driving!

And just when you thought that our last verse was a toughie I think today’s verse may be even more challenging!

You up for it?

Don’t use foul or abusive language. Let everything you say be good and helpful, so that your words will be an encouragement to those who hear them.
Ephesians 4:29 (New Living Translation – NLT)

Now maybe that doesn’t seem that tough.

But why don’t you try this today:

Tie something around your wrist. Or you can use any bracelet, bangle or watch you’re wearing.

Then be aware of every little thing you say today.

And now the action step:
 
Everytime you moan, complain and grumble or say something negative about yourself, your situation or someone you know, do the following:

Take that bracelet or watch off your one wrist and move it to the other wrist.

I’m guessing if you’re anything like me you won’t need to go to gym for a workout today because of all the wrist swapping you’ll be doing!

(Oops got to go on and change the bracelet to my other hand now!)

God wants our words to be an encouragement to those around us.

He wants us to shine our light by being positive, life filled examples of what life could be!

He wants the people around you to think:
 
Wow! What a great, life giving person she is to be around!

And remember if you don’t get it right God still loves you! Just try and get it right next time (and change that bracelet to your other wrist!)

Thank you Lord!

John
