Welcome to Wisdom Today with Bill Kelley. Today we will be looking at Proverb 18. I will then key in on verses 4 & 21. Both of these verses speak about the importance of our words. Verse 4 tells us that our words are deep waters. When I think of deep waters, I think of a tall water fall. This reminds me of a trip Judy & I will be taking to Maui in the next few days. There are many waterfall we will see. I think of the purity of the fresh water that will be in those waterfalls. Friends, that should be the same as the words that come out of our mouth. They should be clean, and pure. Verse 21 tells us that our words can produce death or life. Our words are so, so important - especially for those of you who are parents, or grandparents. Friends, your kids (and grandkids) listen to every word that comes out of your mouth. Be mindful of that before you speak. Or for those of you who are teachers, (check out James, Chapter 3: verse 1). Call to action - ask God if this is something that you have an issue with - and if it is, ask God to help you overcome this issue. Suggested scripture reading. Today, reread Proverb 18, tomorrow, read Proverb 19 & Sunday, read Proverb 20.
