Welcome back to Build Your Bible Habit, where you can listen to a Proverbs chapter in under five minutes! Proverbs 16 is loaded with life application principles that guide us into handling matters wisely. 

God's Word teaches us not only how to live, but even how to speak. Words have power, and when we employ them like power tools--with care--we arrive at better outcomes in our interactions with others. Here's a great verse example:

"The heart of the wise teacheth his mouth, and addeth learning to his lips." (Proverbs 16:23)

Notice that this verse says "the heart of the wise teacheth his mouth." When wisdom is in our hearts, it shows in our speech. Wise people speak with godly sensitivity.
