The Wise In Heart

Better to be lowly in spirit along with the oppressed than to share plunder with the proud.

Whoever gives heed to instruction prospers, and blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord.

The wise in heart are called discerning, and gracious words promote instruction.

Prudence is a fountain of life to the prudent, but folly brings punishment to fools.

The hearts of the wise make their mouths prudent, and their lips promote instruction.

Gracious words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones.

Proverbs 16:19-24

Be good to your spouse. We sometimes pick out the minor things and focus on them, and that’s when they become big issues.

The book of Proverbs gives us wise counsel about the words we use with others.

Kind hearts are the gardens; kind thoughts are the roots; kind words are the flowers; kind deeds are the fruits.
