Luke 12:48
But he who did not know, yet committed things deserving of stripes, shall be beaten with few. For everyone to whom much is given, from him much will be required; and to whom much has been committed, of him they will ask the more.
This is why sometimes i feel that there is a good side to having lesser than others. cox if you have lesser, less will be expected of you. well, this can expand up to every single area. A very pratical example, there is a greater risk of a worship leader falling into pride as compared to a choir member right?
Recently this thing has always been on my mind. Being encouraging and edifying in the things we say. Im not saying that we say things to please people, to make them happy, but rather e things that we say that make people go," wow, you have a point" and they will feel encouraged by what you've said. I really cant emphasize more on how important i feel that words are. They literally bring life or death. A careless word spoken without the intention to kill, could destroy one's dreams. What more to say of a deliberate word to destroy it? I feel that this is all the more true and important for knowledgeable people and people who are being held in high esteem. Actually, as i read the Bible, I realise how foolish humans can be. Time and time again it asks us to talk less and do more. Best if we dont talk at all. and yet till today we talk so much. HAHA. But really, I cant find a better way to explain this than the Bible.
Proverbs 10:19
The more talk, the less truth; the wise measure their words.
