Daily Devotion: The Power of Our Words

The tongue of the wise commends knowledge… (Proverbs 15:2).

In a world filled with noise and distraction, the words we choose carry immense power. Proverbs 15:2 reminds us that a wise man uses his tongue to commend knowledge. This is not merely about speaking; it is about the deliberate choice to lift others up, to share truth, and to foster understanding.

As men, we have a profound responsibility to lead with our words. Every conversation is an opportunity to inspire, educate, and encourage. We can choose to be a source of wisdom that brings clarity in confusion, hope in despair, and strength in weakness. Our words can build bridges or erect walls; they can heal wounds or inflict pain.

Consider the impact of your speech today. Are you sharing knowledge that uplifts others? Are you speaking life into your relationships, your work, and your community? When we commit to using our tongues wisely, we become instruments of God's love and grace.

Let us strive to be men who commend knowledge, sharing insights that reflect the heart of God. Pray for wisdom to discern when to speak and what to say. Ask for the courage to stand for truth and the humility to listen.

Remember, your words shape not only your life but also the lives of those around you. Choose wisely, speak boldly, and let your tongue be a fountain of knowledge that blesses others and honors God.
