Ephesians 5:16
Ephesians 5:16
Making the best use of the time, because the days are evil.
The words of the righteous nourish and guide many, while the lack of wisdom leads fools to destruction. This verse illustrates the power of speech when guided by righteousness and wisdom. Righteous individuals use their words thoughtfully, offering encouragement, guidance, and instruction to those around them. Their speech becomes a source of spiritual nourishment, helping others grow in faith and understanding. In contrast, fools, lacking wisdom, speak recklessly, leading themselves and others into harm. This verse challenges us to consider the impact of our words, understanding that they hold the potential to build up or tear down. Let us seek to use our words as tools for blessing, choosing wisdom and kindness in every conversation. May we strive to be voices of encouragement and truth, feeding others with insights that reflect God’s love and wisdom. By doing so, we become instruments of His grace, drawing others closer to His light.
Ecclesiastes 7:9
Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry: for anger resteth in the bosom of fools.
Psalm 90:12
So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.
Proverbs 4:23
Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.
Proverbs 19:8
He that getteth wisdom loveth his own soul: he that keepeth understanding shall find good.
