but a harsh word stirs up anger.

keeping watch on the wicked and the good.
Exhortation
The temple is a place of God’s presence. Let us align our lives with God’s standards. Just as the temple had specific dimensions, our lives too should be measured by God’s Word and His principles. (Ezekiel 41). Today be reminded of God’s sovereignty and majesty, worship and reverence Him, singing “Holy, holy, holy” all day long. Declare His mercies and faithfulness and remember the power of words , the impact of our words on others.
May the Holy Spirit help us to have a gentle answer that turns away wrath, and may we choose gentle responses that diffuse conflict and calm tensions. God is omnipresent and all-knowing, constantly watching both evil and good actions.
Prayer
Father God, thank You for Your perfect holiness, transform us that we may walk boldly in Your love. Help us to be a church that lives with accountability and faithfulness and be trustworthy in all our dealings, just as you are trustworthy in your promises. Father, we give you all the glory in Jesus’ name,
Amen
