The Bible urges us to respect everyone. Does this mean the grumpy neighbors who constantly let their dog run around your yard and occasionally use it as an outhouse? Yes. Does it include your combative relative who never speaks respectfully to you? Yes. What about the difficult person on that committee with you, whose personality and behavior get on your very last nerve? Yep. That one, too. We can learn to speak respectfully no matter the situation. By drawing on the power of the Holy Spirit to temper our tongues and help us weigh our words, we can speak in a polite tone. This doesn’t mean we don’t speak the truth. It just means we verbalize it in an honorable way. MyProverbs 31 Ministries devotion. proverbs31.org/devotions/devo/r-e-s-p-e-c-t/
