Day 299 – Proverbs 25:15
Through patience a ruler can be persuaded, and a gentle tongue can break a bone.
Proverbs 25:15, NIV
Be patient, and you can persuade a ruler. Show to others that you are not easily swayed by the pressures from your surroundings. Learn to understand and choose to wait. Do not be so obsessed with getting what you want according to your timeline. Learn to patiently deal with someone, and you will eventually convince them to do the right thing. Aside from that, be gentle, especially in the words you speak, and you will experience a bone-breaking moment. Others may think that patient and gentle people are weak, but remember that the word of God says that they have power.
May you choose to be patient and release gentle words to others.
