Today's Verse - Proverbs 10:19 (KJV)

In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin: but he that refraineth his lips is wise.

—Proverbs 10:19 (KJV)

Thoughts on Today's Verse...​

We are constantly filling our world with noise. If it is not the sound of our own voices, then turn up some other noise to fill the silence. With the proliferation of radio talk shows, we are even given the opportunity to sound off to that noise. Unfortunately, quite often we say things that are harmful, hurtful, or foolish. God's wisdom reminds us to learn to hold our tongue and let silence rule over more of our time rather than the noisy words that so often clutter our world.

My Prayer...​

Holy God, please give me more wisdom so that I can keep my mouth shut more often and my ears more attentive to the needs of others. Purify my heart and cleanse my speech so that it will be helpful to others and bring glory to you. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

[The Encourager]

God thank you for the book of Proverbs. God, I ask You in Jesus' name bless we to walk in the wisdom of Proverbs and the peace of Psalms. Make me a woman of wisdom that measures my words.

Help me, make me practice Pause-Breathe-Pray. When you are in doubt about what to do, angry, tired, stressed, or overwhelmed and you want to say or do something that you know is not right. Don't get in trouble with God. Pause, breathe, and Pray. Pray, ask God for help, to do the right thing, to say the right words, in the right tone of voice, and with the right attitude--Encourager Linda Flagg, M.A., BCPCLC

O Lord, use our mouth to bless, help and guide others towards You. Make us all a blessing not a curse. Teach to follow You and obey Your word. Amen
