Proverbs 11:11 NCV “Good people bless and build up their city, but the wicked can destroy it with their words.”
The latest story, the latest crisis, and the latest buzzword are all too often filled with criticism and negativity. It is impossible to miss the negativity that blasts through our society today. As hard as we may try, we cannot escape today’s harsh and angry atmosphere.
While it might seem everyone is this way, we don’t have to be. As believers, we are salt and light (see Matt. 5:13-16) in a tasteless and dark place. We have what everyone else needs. Instead of speaking words of destruction, let’s find ways to bless and build our homes and nations. If we want to see our world change, we are the ones to lead the way in that change.
