Proverbs 12:18 “Reckless words pierce like a sword, but the tongue of the wise brings healing.” Words are tools. Tools have an intended purpose. However, the tool chest of words can encourage, devastate, heal or damage depending on how they are either spoken or received. When our Savior said—It is finished—the entire world listened and those 3 words affect all of us even today. Those 3 amazing words seal our salvation. Jesus chose those words carefully and purposefully. Can you and I learn from our Teacher the mighty power of words? Definitely! Choose and use your words carefully and with purpose. Have a blessed Good Friday-Easter weekend.

Proverbs 12:16 “A fool shows annoyance at once, but a prudent man overlooks an insult.” Regret can be guaranteed when anger becomes the ruler. Calmness will always generate a solution when wisdom is applied. We all have a choice in all circumstances–will anger or will calm dominate. The outcome will be determined by our decision. Which would you rather work with—an angry impetuous mentality or a wise calm mentality.

Proverbs 12:8 “A man is praised according to his wisdom, but men with warped minds are despised.” Whenever the word —but — is used in a sentence or in conversation you know what follows is very likely to be not good. Solomon writes—possessing wisdom is a great blessing—BUT—just the opposite is terrible. Isn’t praying for wisdom to be a daily part of our prayer life? BUT—-do we all pray that prayer?

Proverbs 12:5 “The plans of the righteous are just, but the advice of the wicked is deceitful.” We all from time to time look for advice. We might go to professionally educated and trained if the situation demands that type of advice. We might go to friends or acquaintances if the situation requires that type of advice. You make a decision on the value of the advice based on the value of the wisdom of the person you are asking. Be a person who people come to for advice because of the value of your character and wisdom.
