Some Verses And Notes: On Speaking

How you speak starts with the heart.

How you speak starts with your attitude.

Honour thy mother and father.

Thou shalt not use the Lord thy God’s name in vain.

Thou shalt not bear false witness. Do not lie.

1Peter 2:1 1Peter 2:1 ¶ Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings,

 1Peter 2:17 Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king. {Honour all: or, Esteem all} 

Psalms 34:13 Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile.  Dishonesty to fool people.

To make someone to believe a lie by being clever.  Using what you say to stir up a riot – making people angry.

Speaking in Prayer – like Daniel

Speak boldly (with confidence) the truth of God.  Like Paul

Ephesians 4:15   But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things,

Ephesians 4:31   Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:

Ephesians  5:19    Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;

Timothy 5:13   And withal they learn to be idle, wandering about from house to house; and not only idle, but tattlers also and busybodies, speaking things which they ought not.

Col 4:6   Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man.

Proverbs 15:1    A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger.

 James 1:19 ¶ Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:

 1Peter 3:8 ¶ Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous:

 1Co 2:1 ¶ And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God.

From Childhood To Slavery

From Childhood to Slavery

Let’s go back into Joseph’s life as a child.  Joseph was a teenager when his baby brother was born   His mother died but everything Joseph learned from his mother would not be forgotten.  Joseph was taught a number of things. This was made evident when He was in bondage.  Joseph was the only  sibling that lost his mother.  None of the other women in Jacob’s life could ever replace Joseph’s mom.

  

Joseph was given extra love and attention.  A grieving teen needs special attention.  Joseph was taught the bible by both his mother and his father.  They taught Joseph to love God and they taught Joseph how to obey and respect.  There’s not one bad thing ever said in scripture about Joseph.  Joseph was sold into slavery and had to adapt to his life in Egypt.  

Joseph was very trustworthy, he was a hard worker, and he cared about people, he feared God. He respected those over him. He kept a good spirit about himself.  He was a great follower and because of that, he became a good leader.  Joseph was trusted because of his character.  Which was also seen through how he spoke to people.  Joseph was mistreated growing up by his brothers and through those problems, he had to learn to respond to them.  I believe Joseph’s mother and father taught him how to rise above his situation.  When I think of Joseph as a child that lost his mother.  I think of the poor injured lamb in the care of the shepherd.  Only it wasn’t a leg injury. It was a heart injury.  He needed extra special attention.  All the other sheep were okay.  

The day Joseph was taken into bonds and was herded off to Egypt with other slaves was the day Joseph grasped with all his heart everything he was ever taught.  Everything he was taught by his mother, everything ever taught to him by his father, and every bible scripture he ever read.  Prayer was more important than ever.  Prayers mingled in sweat and tears on a hard dry desert journey.  Joseph knew the life of a slave and the horrors of slavery.
