Revelation of the Word:

THEME: POWER OF UNDERSTANDING

Proverbs 11:12 NIV

“Whoever derides their neighbor has no sense, but the one who has understanding holds their tongue.”

INSIGHT

-The way of wisdom is the pathway of love and respect. When one despises or ridicules his neighbor, it is not evidence of superior wisdom and discernment, but lack of understanding. Proverbs 10:19 discloses that, “In the multitude of words sin is not lacking, But he who restrains his lips is wise.” Men and women of understanding recognize there is a time and place to hold back one’s tongue and desist from any form of outrage. They know when love and respect should compel them to hold their peace. God’s gives us understanding to enable us guard our lips and therefore acquire a preservation of life and avoid destruction by His grace (Proverbs 13:3).

PRAYER

We sing to You Lord a new song and make known Your goodness in all the earth. We sing to You Lord and praise Your name; proclaiming Your salvation day after day. We sing to You Lord and declare Your glory among the nations, Your marvelous deeds among all peoples. In our distress we cry to You Lord, knowing that You hear us and You will deliver our souls from lying lips and deceitful tongues. May You fill our hearts with understanding that we may restrain our lips and avoid destruction. May our speech always be filled with wisdom together with all our leaders. May You teach us to love and respect You and one another, as You have called us. May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with us now and forever more. Amen
