HOW YOU SAY IT MAKES A GREAT DEAL OF DIFFERENCE.


HOW YOU SAY IT MAKES A GREAT DEAL OF DIFFERENCE.

A Sultan summoned one of his Seers and asked how long he would live.

Your Highness the Seer said, “you will live to see all your sons and daughters dead”.

The Sultan flew into a rage. He handed over the Seer to his palace guards and ordered  the Seer’s execution.

The Sultan called for a second Seer  and asked him the same question.

“Your Highness,"  the  second Seer said, "I see you blessed with long life, so long that you will outlive all your family.”

The Sultan was greatly delighted and rewarded the Seer with gold and silver.

Both Seers said the same thing.  How they say it made the difference.  Death for one and life for the other.


“Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.” (Proverbs 18:21)
