PITHY WITH AN RCK PUNCH!

Son-ln-law, RCK. has a way of saying the most with the fewest words!
First he practices keeping his ears open and his mouth shut. That's scriptural. In His quiet times before the Lord, I imagine he is still to listen first. He ruminates. 
Think----Meditate. Concentrate."Chew the cud." 
He also practices that with people.
The result is saying the most with the fewest words. 
Concise. Succinct. Terse---but without the sting.
Pithy with a punch as I so often say!
Even in his work conferences he knows how to be brief because he has prepped and prayed. He uses kind, bright words to explain and encourage. 

He doesn't just babble and blather on and on.
He physically leaves but his words stick. 
Pithy with a punch of truth are left for others to consider.

THINK ON THESE THINGS!

A step beyond thinking..........to glean understanding!
Consider. Contemplate. Muse. Ponder. Reflect. Ruminate.

Yesterday's March 4 Experiencing God devotional had me in a meditative mode...
  • Words you speak can be a good gauge of what's in your heart.
  • Mind needs exercise just as your physical body does.
  • To keep thoughts pure, contemplate noble truths that stretch your  mind.
  • Expose mind to truths of God's Word.
  • Choose to concentrate on the truths of God.
....A convicting mode

"The things you allow your mind to dwell on will be revealed in the way you live."(p.64)
