  Do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God  
 
 

Ephesians 4:29-31
29 Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.
30 And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.
31 Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice.


We read in Genesis 6:5-6 The LORD saw how great man's wickedness on the earth had become and that every inclination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil all the time. The LORD was grieved that he had made man on the earth, and his heart was filled with pain.

We can grieve the Spirt inside us by neglecting holiness or relying on materialistic things. When we are too busy to pray that may grieve the Holy Spirit.

Are our words and our behavior helpful for building others up according to their needs?

Application

Prayerfully ask others who are close to you about your speech and find out if your words are building others up or there is any chance of hurting others. Admit our faults and confess to God and pray for Holy Spirit to guide you with wisdom to be careful in your speech and speak only what builds others up because when we hurt someone we grieve the Holy Spirit. Instead of grieving the Holy Spirit, let our words and life be bringing great joy to Holy Spirit.
