Communication: February 24, 2015

TODAY’S WORD FOR TUESDAY FEBRUARY 24, 2015.

COMMUNICATION

DEFINITION:

To give or interchange thoughts, feelings, or information by speaking or writing; to express ideas or feelings effectively.
SCRIPTURE:

Reckless words pierce like a sword, but the tongue of the wise brings healing. Proverbs 12:18.

KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE:

Our oldest granddaughter and her husband some time ago shared with us some thoughts on communication that we want to share with you in this devotional. After they were married they began to learn the importance of communication in marriage. They both had often found themselves making assumptions about the other person's feelings and opinions, and quickly discovered that assumptions cannot and should not take the place of communication. They realized that part of marriage involved the two of them becoming "one" and without communication, it is impossible to blend two lives into one.

Through changes in plans, differing schedules, and a variety of separate interests, keeping each other informed was essential to harmony within their relationship. Most importantly, they learned the importance of communicating their ideas about their faith, values, and future dreams and goals. Staying current in their exchange of ideas helped them ensure that they would always work together towards the same ideals and goals.

Communication has been of upmost importance in all areas of their lives. Having learned the value of family from a young age, they had been able to appreciate the worth of a strong family unit and the deep bond of friendship that communication can bring to a marriage. Now they are expecting their first child and they are excited to put into practice the knowledge that God has given them. The two-way street of communication is truly a more blissful path than any one-way street.

What they communicated to us is not the norm today among many newly married couples. The key to their healthy marriage begins with their daily communication with God and then between each other. God has blessed them abundantly because they learned as children priorities that honored God and they live today by these same standards. The words of Solomon are so wise. Reckless words are hurtful and will tear a family apart, but thoughtful and honest communication will unite and bring healing.


LEARNING:

Our memory verse for this week is found in John 3:36.

Whosoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God’s wrath remains on him.


PRAYER:

Help us as spouses and as parents to be strong in the Lord and show courage in communicating the love of our Lord and Savior. Thank you that I can be assured that I can communicate to You in prayer at any time and in any place because You have promised to never forsake us but will always be with us.
