The Bible Society of South Africa reports that in an early draft of their translation of the Bible into Southern Sotho (one of many South African dialects), the typesetter typed "jwala" (which means "beer") instead of "jwalo" (which is translated "so"). The result of Genesis 1:9 was, "And God said: 'Let the water under the sky be gathered to one place....And it was beer.'"
One little letter changes the whole meaning. This can be a gentle reminder of how important it is to get things right the first time. A lot of people's feelings are hurt and relationships destroyed because something was presented the wrong way or misunderstood.
Don't let your temper or emotions speak for you. The Apostle James says, "Be swift to hear and slow to speak." Maybe that's why God gave us two ears and only one mouth.
Have a blessed day,
Pastor Gary
