| Our Conversation |
| “Speaking things which they ought not” (1 Timothy 5:13). |
| As a follow-up to yesterday’s meditation, I wonder, do we really give enough thought to the impact of our conversation during the course of a day? How many words do we speak? How much of our conversation can be termed purposeful and profitable speaking? |
| I have seen some percentage estimates that suggest that maybe up to 75% of conversation is negative. That may be a rather high estimate, but even if we reduce it considerably, it still warrants some serious consideration. |
| A good question to ask ourselves is this: “Has the greatest percentage of conversation today contributed to the blessing, encouragement, and help in some way of the people I have met and interacted with?” |
| David must have had a concern about this when he prayed: “Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in Thy sight, O Lord, my strength, and my Redeemer” (Psalm 19:14). That approach will assure a confidant manner of life, a positive attitude, and encouraging conversation. |
