"The mouth of the righteous is a well of life...Wisdom is found on the lips of him who has understanding...The mouth of the foolish is near destruction...Whoever hides hatred has lying lips...In the multitude of words sin is not lacking, but he who restrains his lips is wise...The tongue of the righteous is choice silver...The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable....."
Proverbs 10:11a, 13a, 14b, 18a, 19, 20a, 21a, 32a
The wise man controls his tongue. He knows words can either bring life or death, beauty or ugliness, blessing or cursing, singing or moaning, peace or strife, praise or criticism, thanksgiving or discontent, joy or sorrow, love or hate. So, what is acceptable?
Today's Thought: Acceptable words build rather than destroy.
Have an acceptable day. Love you.
