Wisdom in Words: Learning Discretion Through Scripture
Explore biblical wisdom on discretion in speech, cultivating integrity and discernment through Proverbs and related scriptures.
📖 Introduction
Welcome to this 3-day Bible study focused on learning to be discreet in our speech, inspired by the powerful wisdom of Proverbs 11:13. Proverbs, often called the book of wisdom, guides us to live with integrity, discernment, and thoughtfulness, especially in how we communicate. Discretion in speech refers to the ability to speak wisely, guarding our words and intentions.
Why is discretion so important? Words have the power to uplift or destroy, to clarify or confuse.

Throughout this study, we will explore scriptures that emphasize the importance of controlling our words, offering practical insights on how to cultivate discretion rooted in godly wisdom. You will be encouraged to reflect on your own speech patterns and embrace transformation guided by the Holy Spirit.
