Wise Words June 17, 2015
The tongue of the wise brings healing.
Proverbs 12:18 NIV
What is the strongest muscle in the human body? Some say its the tongue, but its hard to determine which muscle is the most powerful because muscles dont work alone.
But we do know that the tongue is strong. For a small muscle, it can do a lot of damage. This active little muscular organ that helps us eat, swallow, taste, and begin digestion has a tendency to also assist us in saying things we shouldnt. The tongue is guilty of flattery, cursing, lying, boasting, and harming others. And thats just the short list.
It sounds like a pretty dangerous muscle, doesnt it? But heres the good thing: It doesnt have to be that way. When we are controlled by the Holy Spirit, our tongues can be turned to great good. We can speak of Gods righteousness (Ps. 35:28) and justice (37:30). We can speak truth (15:2), show love (1 John 3:18), and confess sin (1 John 1:9).
The writer of Proverbs 12:18 spells out one of the best uses of the tongue: The tongue of the wise brings healing (niv). Imagine how we could glorify the One who made our tongues when He helps us use it to bring healingnot harmto everyone we talk to.
Please guard each word we say so we reflect You and Your love. Help our tongues speak words of healing and not harm.
Encourage one another and build each other up. 1 Thessalonians 5:11 niv
:
Proverbs warns us of the consequences of our words (Prov. 10:20-21; 12:13,18; 13:3; 16:24,27-28; 18:7; 22:5; 25:11-12). Wrong words are likened to a powerful fire (16:27) and weapons of war (12:18; 25:18; 26:18). A wise person is one who is restrained and judicious in his speech. Interestingly, we are reminded that if we keep silent, we will never say the wrong thing (10:19) and we will even be thought to be wise (17:28).

Nice tribute. My nephew was a Navy Corpsman, just recently honorably discharged and now applying to nursing school.

I salute you Conor and all the other Brave Navy Corpsmen who have served this great Country over the years.
I'm sure there's a whole bunch of Marines who feel the same way I do.

Maestro, Luv graciously agreed to allow me to launch this thread in her customary "slot." She has class to the nth degree!
