Holding together


Rebellion against God destroys you, your home, your relationships, your work environment and your future. To avoid this obvious turn of events you have to guard your heart and watch your speech, which is just an exteriorisation of what you think. Your speech can kill or save. Your decisions influences you and everybody, even animals near you.    

The words of the wicked kill;
   the speech of the upright saves.
7 Wicked people fall to pieces—there’s nothing to them;
   the homes of good people hold together.
8 A person who talks sense is honored;
   airheads are held in contempt.
9 Better to be ordinary and work for a living
   than act important and starve in the process.
10 Good people are good to their animals;
   the “good-hearted” bad people kick and abuse them.
11 The one who stays on the job has food on the table;
   the witless chase whims and fancies.
12 What the wicked construct finally falls into ruin,
   while the roots of the righteous give life, and more life.
(Prov.12:6-12 MSG)

Prayer: May my roots stay in You always, Oh God, for Your glory, for my own benefit and the benefit of everybody around me. Give me humility, perseverance, and kindness.
Give me a speech that produces life and talk sense. Bless my home with health and unity.
