James 3:9-12

Proverbs 18:21

3. Words Have The Power to delight: The Fountain

The fresh water represents:

  • Water is life-giving fountain - Our words can give life
  • We can not be healthy without water

    • The good man utters words of wisdom, comfort and edification. 

    Thoughtless Speech

    • Some peoples normal speech pattern is to accuse, belittle, manipulate, mock, insult, or condemn, and their rash words hurt other people and feel like thrusts of a sword.
  • Reckless words may not be intended to hurt, but can be very hurtful. They may not be thought through. Works spoken from a wiseheart can do the opposite; they can heal (cf. 15:4) instead of hurt.

    •  

    Wise Speech

    • The tongue of the wise promotes "healing."
  • Words bring healing because they are faithful and true, gentle and kind, and uplifting and encouraging

    •  

    WISDOM TIP - 'Right words' not only bless people but confirm relationship. Build atmosphere
