Proverbs 16:21 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!

When God says …

“The wise in heart will be called prudent, And sweetness of the lips increases learning.” (Proverbs 16:21 NKJV)

This text reveals that prudence is an outward manifestation - an expressed language - of wisdom from a person’s heart. By gracious and eloquent utterance of prudence, abundant learning is gathered by those who hear and listen. And, foremost, one increases wisdom from his self-talk!

Yes, when grace and wisdom are working in concert, lives are significantly impacted by the words spilling out of our lips. Devoid of grace and wisdom, we beware, good or bad words spoken are powerful. It has bearing to a person's success or failure, life or death - which transcends from this earthly realm to eternity. Hence, this passage puts us in conscious knowledge. This seriously reminds to let sweetness be the prominent spice in our lips, in grace and wisdom!

As God’s children by grace through faith in Christ Jesus, we let this litmus test monitor the contents of our heart. We must be mindful always of what Lord Jesus said. He warns: “The good person out of his good treasure brings forth good, and the evil person out of his evil treasure brings forth evil. I tell you, on the day of judgment people will give account for every careless word they speak, for by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.”” (Matthew 12:35-37 ESV)

And I say, AMEN!
