Day 19

The Tongue

from the reading plan


Proverbs 10:13-14, Proverbs 10:18-21, Proverbs 10:31-32, Proverbs 13:2-3, Proverbs 18:20-21


After completing your daily reading, come back to chat with fellow Bible readers about any reflections you have on the proverbs, introduction, or questions from today.

Our words matter, and as James 3:9–10 says, “With the tongue we bless our Lord and Father, and with it we curse people who are made in God’s likeness. Blessing and cursing come out of the same mouth. My brothers and sisters, these things should not be this way.” The book of Proverbs highlights the intensity and power of human language using contrasting themes like knowledge and destruction, protection and ruin, and attraction and foolishness.

Reflection Questions:

Proverbs 10:20 says a righteous tongue has equal value to pure silver. How much value do you place on the power of your words?

How is a prudent or righteous person’s tongue described? What makes a person’s tongue wicked?

Who can you share life-giving words with today?

    naturally like your web site however you need to take a look at the spelling on several of your posts. A number of them are rife with spelling problems and I find it very bothersome to tell the truth on the other hand I will surely come again again.

  5. El boceto es atractivo, tu material escrito es elegante, pero debes tener la ansiedad de que puedas volver a hacer lo mismo casi con frecuencia si sigues esta caminata.
