Proverbs 10:13
In the lips of him that hath understanding wisdom is found:
But a rod is for the back of him that is void of understanding.
Oh, how great is God’s wisdom. How He has within each of us placed the judgments of our own conscience.
A man wise in the understanding of God’s Instruction speaks; his mouth drips honey. His words bring sweetness to his life, to his wife, to his children and to all around him. He wakes and he is blessed. He surrounds himself with his family and they enjoy his presence. He works and his advice is heeded. His words return to him in the form of blessings.
It is not so with the man void of understanding of God’s Instruction; his mouth pusses perversion. His words cause bitterness to his life, to his wife, to his children, and to all around him. In the morning he despises God’s mercies. His family, victim to his foolishness, loathes his presence. His works only add heat to his already seared conscience. His words return to him as the rods of God’s faithful correction on his back.
Have your words come back to haunt you? Have they revealed a heart void of God’s Instruction? Words are often like toothpaste; once it’s out the tube, it can’t be put back in. They also have a way of coming back to us activated in the actions and words of others.
Jesus said that from the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. The Holy Book also says that the entrance to our heart is trough the eyes is the ears. If we fill our hearts by watching and listening to Godly things, we will not have a problem with comes out of our mouth.
