Day 156 — Proverbs 13 – 15

The tongue is mentioned again and again throughout Proverbs in connection with folly and evil, confronting us with an opportunity to consider our speech. Even if you don’t think you have a problem with your speech, you would be wise to at least be warned about that human weakness and prospect for the enemy to tempt and try you.

These chapters also speak several times about correction. It’s not easy to take, but even the wise need correction occasionally. How willingly do you accept correction?

If none of the proverbs in today’s reading especially speaks to you, these are two areas you can consider and speak to God about.
