Proverbs 17

27 A man of knowledge uses words with restraint,
and a man of understanding is even-tempered.

Since the message for this coming weekend is going to center around using our words wisely, this verse naturally caught my attention this morning. God is a God or relationship and one of the tools He has provided us with to advance our relationships through communication is words and speech. But how easy it is to speak in ways or at times that are inappropriate. Sometimes we just simply need to have restraint with our words.

I am certain that God will give me opportunities today to put this verse into action today. God give me the wisdom and the strength today to exercise appropriate restraint with my words, thoughts and actions.

How did God use Proverbs 17 in your life today?
