WORDS of Wisdom and Grace

Proverbs 4:7-9
Wisdom Is Supreme

7 Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom.

Though it cost all you have, get understanding.
8 Esteem her, and she will exalt you;

embrace her, and she will honor you.
9 She will set a garland of grace on your head

and present you with a crown of splendor."

Proverbs 12:17-19
17 A truthful witness gives honest testimony,

but a false witness tells lies.
18 Reckless words pierce like a sword,

but the tongue of the wise brings healing.

Proverbs 16:23-24

23 A wise man's heart guides his mouth,

and his lips promote instruction.
24 Pleasant words are a honeycomb,

sweet to the soul and healing to the bones.

Ephesians 2:6-8
6 And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with Him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, 7 in order that in the coming ages He might show the incomparable riches of His grace, expressed in His kindness to us in Christ Jesus. 8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— [all Scripture emphasis added]

*******************************************

What words of healing grace will you offer someone today? Each day we come in contact with many people. It could be your child, your husband, your pastor, a stranger at the supermarket, a friend, a elderly person, a neighbor, a gas station attendant. We have words of wisdom that lead to healing grace for them. Will we offer them freely - or are we too busy running our lives to take time to stop and listen?

Looking UPward and Choosing JOY,
