Prayer Points

A Prayer Point is a point of light designed to encourage people--helping them face trials and triumphs with godly insight, wisdom, and delight! As one glimmer enters darkness, it infectiously spreads until light is all you see! We are called to 'let our lights so shine' so please forward this to friends, family, share on Facebook, tweet it to help those you know make it through with a smile. "Therefore comfort each other and edify one another, just as you also are doing." (1 Thes 5:11)

Day 28: Say What You Mean

"He who rebukes a man will find more favor afterward than he who flatters with the tongue."

Proverbs 28:23

There is a saying that goes "Say what you mean and mean what you say." Today's word from the proverbs is simple and to the point. The weight behind our words is immeasurable. This does not give us the license to say anything, but it does give us the responsibility to live in the middle of truth. Saying "I'm just keepin' it real" is not the same as rebuking a man in Christian love. Love is the key word. There has to be compassion and a sincere desire to improve the other person in order for it to be truly "real" and not just your opinion. So this is the day that you have an opportunity to speak in truth and love and refrain from simple flattery.

Be encouraged in truth and love.

Blessings,
