The words of a wise man’s mouth are gracious,
But the lips of a fool shall swallow him up; (Ecclesiastes 10:12 NKJV)

ECCLESIASTES 10 IN ITS ENTIRETY.

Thought For The Week: Our speech reveals what is in our hearts and minds. Are we full of wisdom and grace, or are we on a course toward destruction? When we speak with love and truth, setting aside malice and deception, God’s grace is revealed in us. But when our words are careless, we not only harm others, but we reveal ourselves to be untrustworthy, bringing down judgment on our own heads.

Prayer: Father God, You alone are the source of wisdom. My mind is limited and my ways are faulty. Help me to seek You before I speak, so that I may discern truth from folly and speak only what is gracious and right. Guard my mouth against impetuous and unrestrained speech, so that I may not harm myself or others with my words. In Jesus’ name, amen.
