Wisdom in Words: Guarding Your Speech
Explore God’s guidance on speech, learning to avoid foolishness and speak with wisdom across three insightful days.
📖 Introduction
Welcome to your 3-day journey focusing on the power of words and the wisdom found in the Bible about guarding what we say. In a world full of noise and quick reactions, Proverbs 29:20 warns us: “Do you see someone who speaks in haste? There is more hope for a fool than for them.” This study encourages us to slow down, evaluate our speech, and embrace God’s wisdom to avoid the pitfalls of foolish words.
Words are powerful. They can build up or tear down, bring peace or ignite conflict, offer encouragement or cause pain. Throughout Scripture, God reminds us of the importance of thoughtful, honest, and loving speech. James 1:19 exhorts us to be “quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry.” The Bible doesn’t just teach about speech but about the heart attitudes that flow through our words.
Over the next three days, we will dive into passages that help us recognize the dangers of careless speech and provide clear biblical principles for wise communication. Whether speaking to family, friends, or strangers, your words reflect your character and your relationship with God. Let’s invite the Holy Spirit to guide us toward speech that honors God and blesses others. Get ready to explore God's Word, reflect deeply, and grow in wisdom to avoid foolish speech.
