OUT OF THE OVERFLOW OF THE HEART THE MOUTH SPEAKS MATTHEW FULL
Amen.You brood of vipers, how can you who are evil say anything good? For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of. May our words reflect the wisdom and love that You have shown us, and may they bring glory to Your name. Help us to listen carefully, think before we speak, and to show understanding to those we interact with. Heavenly Father, please help us to speak wisely and with kindness, and to use our words to build up rather than tear down. The good man brings good things out of the good stored up in him, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in him.” If we want to speak wise and kind words, we must cultivate a heart that is full of wisdom and love. Matthew 12:34–35 says, “ For out of the overflow of the heart, the mouth speaks. It is important to remember that our words are a reflection of our hearts. Proverbs 18:21 says, “ The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit.” Our words can bring life or death, and we will reap the consequences of the words we speak. However, we must remember that our words have consequences. We may find ourselves in situations where we are tempted to speak carelessly or aggressively, especially when we feel frustrated or angry. James 1:5 says, “ If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.” Our words have the power to heal or hurt, and we must be mindful of the impact they have on others. The Bible teaches us that wisdom comes from God, and we can ask Him for wisdom in our speech. Wise speech adds value to our knowledge and wisdom, while foolish speech reveals a lack of wisdom. This is consistent with other teachings in the Bible, such as in James 1:19–20, which says, “ My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, because human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires.” Instead, a gentle and kind response can defuse the tension and prevent further conflict. When someone is angry or upset, responding with aggression or harsh words will only escalate the situation. In times of conflict, we are encouraged to use gentle and kind speech. The book of Proverbs offers us timeless wisdom on the importance of wise and measured speech, and the consequences of careless or aggressive speech.
Our words can either build up or tear down, encourage or discourage, inspire or demotivate. The tongue of the wise uses knowledge rightly, but the mouth of fools pours out foolishness. A soft answer turns away wrath, but grievous words stir up anger.
