Proverbs 16:23 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!

When God says…

“The heart of the wise teaches his mouth, And adds learning to his lips.” (Proverbs 16:23 NKJV)

This passage touches a nerve to remind one of the common blunder many are guilty of, engaging their mouth too quickly too often with mind and heart out of sync. It usually leads to a situation where one ends up 'putting his foot in his mouth'!

Needless to say, this is one big eye-opener. It is always wiser to be wise and stay wise! This tells us that what truly needs to be engaged before we speak is our heart - which instructs our mouth - before blurting other than what ought to be said. When this is done habitually with discipline, our lips learn to speak out of the abundance of our heart. And, having surrendered our lives to the Lordship of Jesus by faith, resting in His grace, He fills our hearts with good things. His love abounds!

With our lips and mind and heart truly engaged and in sync, this exhortation from Apostle Paul, surely, becomes the way to abide. “Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit, speaking to one another with psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit. Sing and make music from your heart to the Lord, always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.” (Ephesians 5:18-20 NIV)

And I say, AMEN!
