This month we will study the Proverbs that talk about the power of our tongue. The tongue has the power to bring life or death, and the impact it has on those around us is tremendous! Today I discuss Proverbs 12:18 “The words of the reckless pierce like swords, but the tongue of the wise brings healing.”
The Key Reflection Questions are:
1. Are your words giving life to the people around
you? Do you encourage, build up, and restore?
2. What reckless words do you find yourself saying, if any, and think about where those words are stemming from? Is there bitterness,
envy, anger, or sadness that you may need to tend to that is simmering?
3. Think about how you can intentionally bring healing into the lives of your family, friends, and people you don’t know well? Think about this in terms of interacting with strangers; how can you be a peacemaker instead of a peacebreaker?
4. Think about the verse, Can both fresh water and saltwater flow from the same spring? We know this can not happen, but do you find this
happening in your life? Are you praising God and cursing man?
Thank you for listening! Let's be peacemakers in a world of peacebreakers!
