Today you will, like yesterday and all the days before, step into the captain role, steering the ship of conversation in which you find yourself a part.
Will you steer into muddy waters, taking the immature route of losing your temper when self-control would take you into God-charted waters?
Will you commandeer your ship into clear, aquamarine water that replenishes someone's heart with your full listening and encouragement?
Will you move safely through the rocks that lie ahead, helping those in your circle of conversation avoid half-truths and hanging on to what they want to believe rather than God-truth?
What a responsibility to enter into every conversation of our day!
Being the captain of a ship is the responsibility of safe movement and desired destination. We move through conversations with the same responsibility. Only wisdom can help us move safely through the ocean of words exchanged, reaching--with all parties intact--the shore of truth and encouragement.
Wisdom is only granted by God.
So, Captain, don't forget to ask for today's powering up of wisdom.
Steer well.
