Grace and Reflections for a woman's heart # 2

~ A look into Proverbs ~

"For the Lord giveth wisdom:
out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding."
(Proverbs 2:6)
~~~***~~~
Proverbs contains the very wisdom of God
given to show us the value
of living prudently ~ or to be cautious.
~~~***~~~
"She openeth her mouth with wisdom;
and in her tongue is the law of kindness."
(Proverbs 31:26)
~~~***~~~
This woman's words are graced with 
wisdom, kindness and love.
That is a requirement for being a virtuous woman,
one that I believe we all desire to be.
As hard as it may be 
we must be careful how we speak to others.
Many times our human response is to react
with quick and foolish words
that we know we will eventually regret.
Only when it is too late
do we stop to consider the effect our words had on someone.
~~~***~~~
Let it be our prayer that we 
stop, think and consider our words
before we open our mouths.
Let us look to the Lord, asking Him 
to put words of wisdom, kindness and love
on our tongues, that we may build others up
instead of destroying them. 
I believe we have all been eyewitnesses
to some damage that has been done
through the tongue.
Gossip ~ slander ~ hostility ~ cursing ~ and put-downs
are just a few of the things that spew out of our mouths.
Over 150 times Proverbs refers to
our lips our mouth and our tongue. WOW!
~~~***~~~
May we as women grace our lives
in the purity found in the Word of God,
and openeth our mouths with wisdom.
May there be a sweetness that spews out
touching the heart of the one whom we are speaking to.
~~~***~~~

Grace & Peace be yours
In Abundance!
