Day 182 Bible Reading: 2 Kings 18-19, Acts 21:1-17, Psalm 149 and Proverb 18:8 
Gossip is like a good bite of food that others swallow greedily. They go down into one's most innermost being of a person's thoughts and emotions and leave an indelible mark. Gossip destroys the relationship of others, even close friends. The book of Proverbs is clear that we should never slander another person. Are you a person who is ushering in the Kingdom of God. Take charge and bring heaven’s peace to people around us? (2 Cor 12:20)
"The words of a whisperer are like delicious morsels; they go down into the inner parts of the body." – Proverbs 18:8 (English Standard Version)
"Forgive me, Lord, for the times when I have slandered another person or talked behind a person’s back. Help me to know how to gently confront the person with honest communication and with honest speech if something isn’t right between us, rather than slander the person. In Jesus Name. Amen."
