JAN. 6 – WISDOM

01/06             Proverbs 11:9

9 With their words, the godless destroy their friends,
    but knowledge will rescue the righteous.

SPEECH

The godless use their speech to destroy relationships and community.

Their speech is destructive, deceitful and malicious. 

They reject God and His ways.

They destroy community.

The righteous use their speech to bring life and deliverance.

They pursue moral and spiritual understanding from God.

The righteous avoid traps, resolve conflicts,

And protect themselves and others from harm. 

Speech can destroy or edify. 

People count and the Lord calls us to love one another. 

Be careful what you say.

Serve the Lord and your fellow man.
