“A Good Word”

Proverbs 13:25 "Anxiety in a man's heart weighs it down, but a good word makes it glad."

God's Word, The Bible is to be studied word by word and altogether too. The troubles of this world are to be put securely in God's hands, we know this, but it is not easy to do. Philippians 4:6 says "Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God." Pretty clear.

So, each day this battle between the anxieties and good words rages. I think we need more good words to tip the balances. The Bible is convicting and encouraging. Even the encouragement can be convicting. Lord knows I am not without a conscience. Today I am going to spread more good words to lessen the anxieties. I am praying about this as I write it. God help us all to spread some more gladness today. This lightens my heart just suggesting it. How about you?

With gladness and thanksgiving,

Pastor Fred
