Summary

Today's Scripture:

Proverbs 15:1, 2, 4, 7, 23

Vs. 1 - A soft answer turns away wrath,
but a harsh word stirs up anger.

Vs. 2 - The tongue of the wise commends knowledge,
but the mouths of fools pour out folly.

Vs. 4 - A gentle tongue is a tree of life,
but perverseness in it breaks the spirit.

Vs. 7 - The lips of the wise spread knowledge;
not so the hearts of fools.

Vs. 23 - To make an apt answer is a joy to a man,
and a word in season, how good it is!

0:00.0	Hello, once again, my friends. Welcome back to the morning mindset. It is time for us to
0:07.9	get our minds aligned with the truth of God for this day. We have been doing that recently
0:13.2	by going through the book of Proverbs and today we're in chapter 15, looking at five
0:18.7	different verses that have to do with the way that we speak. But before we get there,
0:23.2	I just want to invite you, reach out to me and tell me about your life. Tell me about
0:28.3	what is going on with you. How I can be praying for you all of that kind of thing I would love to
0:32.6	hear. You can reach out. My email is Carrie, C-A-R-E-Y, at Carrie Green, just like the color.com.
0:40.3	All right, let's dive into Proverbs chapter 15. We're going to look at verses 1 and 2,
0:45.6	then verse 4, then verse 7, then verse 23. We're grouping these together because they all have to
0:51.2	do with the kind of speech that we allow to come out of our lips. Let's read verses 1 and 2. It says
0:56.8	a soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger. The tongue of the wise commends
1:05.0	knowledge, but the mouths of fools pour out folly. Now what we can see here from these first two
1:11.2	verses is that we're being instructed in how to respond in various kinds of situations. Verse 1 says
1:18.8	a soft answer turns away wrath. So what I'm imagining is a situation where someone has come to you
1:24.8	kind of angry, kind of upset about something. And what Solomon is advising here is that we respond
1:31.6	softly gently. Don't get heated up in return or in response, but rather let your answer be gentle
1:41.2	and careful because he says if you respond with a harsh word, that's going to stir up the anger
1:47.0	that's there even more. Now verse number 2 tells us the tongue of the wise commends knowledge, but
1:53.7	the mouths of fools pour out folly. So this is basically saying that when you're going to speak,
2:00.2	be sure that you're saying things that truly are wise, things that are truly rooted in the
2:06.2	word of God. Don't just talk for the sake of hearing yourself talk or because you feel like you've
2:11.2	got to have some sort of contribution. Let your contributions be rooted in what is wise. Verse
