Happy new week everyone,
In one of my write-ups, I focused on Proverbs 18:20 which says, “A man’s stomach shall be satisfied from the fruit of his mouth; from the produce of his lips he shall be filled.” I emphasised that only words of wisdom would get this done, words which add value to the lives of people are what Proverbs 18:20 is talking about. On the other hand, Proverbs 21:23 says, “Whoever guards his mouth and tongue keeps his soul from troubles.” To speak with wisdom is not just to speak because you have a high level of knowledge, rather it is understanding the right time to speak, what to say, and who to say it to that matters.
One thing is to have knowledge, but knowledge has put many people in trouble because they lack wisdom, which is in line with what guarding your mouth means in Proverbs 21:23, and it doesn’t only refer to those who don’t have knowledge, but more to those who have all the knowledge, but don’t know how to apply it properly.
Several times, words have brought about quarrels just because someone didn’t speak the right words at the right time, or someone didn’t respond using the right words. But, the quarrel would have died immediately, but someone didn’t keep quiet, which made the quarrel to start. A wise man keeps quiet at the right time because he understands when to speak, and when not to speak. But one without understanding doesn’t know when to be quiet and he is regarded as a fool and this could put his or herself in trouble.
Wisdom is really the principal thing, and through her, you get promoted.
May the LORD bless you and keep you, make His face shine upon you. May the LORD be gracious to you and lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace. AMEN.
Why not accept Jesus today if you haven’t. Pray out loud, “Jesus, I confess that You are my Lord and Saviour. I believe in my heart that God raised You from the dead. By faith in Your Word, I receive salvation now. Thank You for saving me!” Congratulations, you’re born again, you are now brand new!
