"There is one who speaks like the piercings of a sword, but the tongue of the wise promotes health."
Proverbs 12:18
Swords are usually attack weapons. They stab, slash and whack, leaving the victim maimed with ugly scars and pain with no intent of healing. Nor does a razor sharp tongue usually bring healing. But the surgeon's scalpel is a tool in the hands of the physician to restore health. The goal of speaking the truth in love is health. The tongue can be used to destroy or heal. The wise person seeks healing. Lord, help me to speak healing.
Today's Thought: The words of the wise bring healing.
Have a healing day. Love you.
