Adam and Eve were friends with God until they disobeyed Him. Then they hid from God. They were ashamed of what they recognized as something wrong. To live a transparent and peaceful life you need to be honest and live in the light of God. His ways will give you the wisdom and insight you need. Your mouth can also become a life-giving well if you receive His life in you.
An evasive eye is a sign of trouble ahead,
but an open, face-to-face meeting results in peace.
11 The mouth of a good person is a deep, life-giving well,
but the mouth of the wicked is a dark cave of abuse.
12 Hatred starts fights,
but love pulls a quilt over the bickering.
13 You’ll find wisdom on the lips of a person of insight,
but the shortsighted needs a slap in the face.
14 The wise accumulate knowledge—a true treasure;
know-it-alls talk too much—a sheer waste.
(Prov.10:10-14 MSG)
Prayer: I want to be transparent, to have nothing in need to be hidden. Give me a mouth that is like a life-giving well. A treasure of wisdom and insight to give away generously.
