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

I’ve often viewed this scripture as the one who responds to someone who is upset or angry and that if I spoke in a soft tone, their anger would be subside. And this is true.

But I learned a different meaning of this scripture the other day. Not only does a soft answer turn away another person’s anger, it turns away our own when we are angry.

Scripture references:
James 1:19 ESV
Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger;


May the Lord bless you as you continue to grow in the Lord to influence your world!
