“Guard the Mouth”
“Guard the Mouth”
Blessings folk!
The Proverbist continues to give more…and more…insight into the wicked and the righteous.
Pro 13:1-3
A wise son accepts his father’s discipline,
But a scoffer does not listen to rebuke.
From the fruit of a man’s mouth he enjoys good,
But the desire of the treacherous is violence.
The one who guards his mouth preserves his life;
The one who opens wide his lips comes to ruin.
Consider the righteous.
- they accept father’s discipline
- the fruit of his mouth brings forth good
- they guard their mouth, thereby preserving life
The wicked?
- scoffs
- does not listen to rebuke
- are treacherous
- are violent
- “opens wide his lips”…will not shut up…LOL…thereby comes to ruin.
The Lord has told us so much…so far!
The Lord has empowered each true Believer to live as righteous.
Choose the wise, righteous tongue.
Reject the blabbering of the wicked.
