Devotionals
"A wise man's heart guides his mouth, and his lips promote instruction." Proverbs 16:23)
Have you ever known someone who habitually "shoots off his mouth"? Or have you seen one of those little signs that say "engage brain before opening mouth"? That is what this proverb is saying. A wise man thinks about what he says. He engages his mind before he speaks. When he speaks he has something positive to say, something constructive to contribute. We all need to understand that our words have great power. Power of life and death. Power to bless or to curse. A careless word can wound worse than a weapon. Physical wounds heal, and sometimes leave scars. The wounds of words can take decades to heal, and unless bandaged with forgiveness will leave horrible scars. Think before you speak. You possess incredible power in your words.
