Lifting Not Lowering November 12, 2019




Proverbs 11:12 New International Version (NIV)
12 Whoever derides their neighbor has no sense,
    but the one who has understanding holds their tongue.

Wise folks don't have to prove their wisdom by disrespecting others and putting them down. Instead, they hold their tongues and let their lives speak what is good, honorable, righteous, and true. In a world of sarcasm and in a culture that is attracted to the person who can put down others with quick and razor-sharp "put downs," we are called to bring a blessing with our words (Ephesians 4:29).

Thought for today: Do I give pause and prayer before speaking?
