Most of us have probably been told, at one point or another, how powerful our words are. And most of us have probably experienced how powerful words from others are. One of the things that makes the Bible so amazing is how so much of what it says still applies to us today! 

This Proverb is just one example of how wisdom—no matter how old it is—can continue to be meaningful. Sure, we will bump into some Scripture that feels old and doesn’t connect to where we are. But we will also find Scripture that can feel like it was written just for us and our unique circumstances. Maybe that’s what this verse is for you today. This truly is a timeless piece of wisdom that reminds us that our words have consequences. 

Today, try to spend more time thinking before you speak.
