Welcome! I hope you've had a blessed week.He who heeds the Word wisely will find good. And whoever trusts in the Lord, happy is he. The wise in heart will be called prudent, and sweetness of the lips increases learning. (Proverbs 16:20-21 NKJV)
This passage speaks to me strongly about how important wisdom is, and that obeying God is always wise. When I live my life trusting God, I shall be happy! The wise in heart are prudent: cautious, careful, sensible, discreet, or far-sighted. This means that when we exhibit any of these qualities just mentioned, we’re using wisdom!
Then this passage goes on to conclude that sweet words (engaging, appealing, attractive, kind, thoughtful, considerate, pleasant, gentle, caring words) increase what we learn. Wow! That’s a surprise. How can they increase what we learn?
I think that sweet words please God, and teach us to release grace into our daily lives—not only to those around us but to ourselves, too! From the overflow of our own heart, our mouth speaks. (Matthew 12:34, Luke 6:45)
We should endeavor to impart only grace to those around us according to Ephesians 4:29. I want to speak life-imparting words, and this sounds like one of those wonderful ways to begin! Bless YOUR world with your words, my friend, and increase your learning!
