Proverbs Day 63
Proverbs 10:18-21(KJV):
18 He that hideth hatred with lying lips, and he that uttereth a slander, is a fool.
19 In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin: but he that refraineth his lips is wise.
20 The tongue of the just is as choice silver: the heart of the wicked is little worth.
21 The lips of the righteous feed many: but fools die for want of wisdom."
Thought for the day:
These scriptures in Proverbs deal with advice about the things that we speak. Notice the words listed here in reference to speaking -- lips, utterances, words and the tongue. The things that we "say" and the things that we "pray" will either bless others or cause harm to others. We are told in the book of James how deadly the tongue can be. Unless we allow the Lord to control our mouths, we can be guilty of cursing others, instead of blessing them.
