Day Twenty-Six
Read Proverbs 26
Chapter 26 talks a lot about someone who is foolish and the consequences of their actions and spends a good portion addressing gossip. Re-read verses 20-26. Some versions use the word “whisperer,” while others use the word “gossip” or something similar. This passage explains how gossip looks charming but is really the opposite.
Reflect
What does the passage say about someone who gossips?
When there is no “whisperer,” no one who is spreading gossip, what happens (verse 20)?
Engage
We are all guilty of gossip. By listening to wisdom, practicing obedience, and praying for help, we can become better at catching ourselves and holding our tongue.
What ways can you practice these things?
An Extra Mile
The next time you catch yourself talking about someone else negatively, pause and reflect back on this chapter of Proverbs. How can you correct your language? How can you use your words wisely?

About this Plan
Oftentimes life looks like an open road and we aren’t sure which way it will turn. Other times, we feel like we are in control of where we are heading—no need to stop for directions. As believers, we must make sure that our GPS is programmed to the Word. God is our ultimate guide through the journey; He is the Creator of the road itself.
