KEYWORDS: heroes; nation; pray
The Lord lives! Praise be to our Rock! Exalted be God our Savior! You are the God who avenges us, who subdues and saves us from our enemy. Therefore, we will praise You among the nations, O Lord. We will sing praises to Your name. You give victories, Lord God. You show unfailing kindness to Your anointed ones. In the day of trouble, keep us safe in Your dwelling. Hide us in the shelter of Your tabernacle and set us high upon a rock. Cause our heads, and those of all our American Heroes to be exalted above the enemy surrounding us. Then remind us to offer You the sacrifice of praise with shouts of joy, and help us to sing and make music to You.

God, we claim Your Word that says we did not receive a spirit that makes us a slave again to fear, but we received the Spirit of sonship. And by Him we cry, "Abba, Father". Help us to cry out unashamedly to You, our Father, when we are gripped by fear. This kind of fear is not of You! Victorious God, we thank You that the weapons with which we fight are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we choose to take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ! Amen

The Power Of Soft Answers

April 10, 2012

My car broke down in a tunnel during rush hour in downtown Boston. Angry drivers expressed their frustration as they struggled past me. Eventually, the car was towed to a station for repairs. Later it broke down again, stranding me along the Interstate at 2 a.m. Back to the shop it went.

Unfortunately, the repair shop also doubled as a parking lot during Red Sox baseball games. When I arrived after work the next day to pick up my car, it was hemmed in by 30 other vehicles!

Let’s just say I was less than Christlike in my initial reaction. I ranted and raved, and then, realizing it was only making them less willing to help me at the close of their day, I decided to give up. I stormed toward the glass doors and struggled to get them open. My anger increased when the station workers laughed at me.

I had barely made it out when I realized how unlike Christ I’d been. Chastened, I rapped on the locked doors and mouthed “I’m sorry” to the staff inside. They were stunned! They let me back in, and I meekly told them that Christians shouldn’t behave as I had. Minutes later, they were shifting cars to free up mine. I learned the truth that soft rather than harsh words can change circumstances (Prov. 15:1).

O may I find in anger’s grip
The strength to temper tongue and lip;
But failing that, may God grant me
The courage for apology. —Kilgore
A soft answer has often been
the means of breaking a hard heart.

Read: Proverbs 15:1-4

A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger. —Proverbs 15:1
Bible in a Year:
2 Kings 15-17
