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 we turn up some other source of noise to fill the silence. With the proliferation of radio talk shows, we can sound off to that noise. With YouTube®, Instagram®, Snapchat®, Facebook® and the ever-growing new and emerging social media, we can fill our days with noise, information, and entertaining distractions. Unfortunately, all too often, we say things that are harmful, hurtful, incendiary, or foolish. God's wisdom reminds us to learn to hold our tongue and let silence rule over more of our time rather than generate the noise of our words that clutter our world. "When words are many, sin is not absent, but he who holds his tongue is wise."

My Prayer...​


Holy God, please give me wisdom so that I can keep my mouth shut more often, the noise around me turned down, and my ears attentive to your guidance and the needs of others around me. Purify my heart and cleanse my speech so that my words will be helpful to others and bring glory to you. Help me filter what I expose my ears and heart to hear. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
