In Psalm 45, the psalmist talks about the blessing of God producing lips anointed with grace. Wouldn't this be a wonderful gift from God? Suppose all that we said was blessed with grace - encouraging words, love, but also truth told to build up, not tear down.
This gift is available from God - through His Word and His Spirit. God's Word is replete with instruction about Biblical communication. I teach a 9 week study on this and only scratch the surface. I see people transformed from the inside out by this material. I see others unchanged - we must submit to God's Word - from the inside out. Our hearts and minds must be changed for any lasting change to occur with our lips.
In Psalm 45, this most excellent of men rides forth victoriously in truth, humility, and righteousness. Inside-out change requires humility.
