Study before you speak???

This verse should make us stop and think for a moment about what comes out of our mouths!

Proverbs 15:28

28 The heart of the righteous studies how to answer,
But the mouth of the wicked pours forth evil.


Wow! God tells us here before we answer folks we should be studying on how we are to answer. This may make one ask...study what??? The Word of God of course! In life folks will ask you all kinds of questions. God's Word has the answer for every question one will ever be asked. This is again why we MUST be in God's Word. If I had to give one word to give on how to answer people it would be love. Jesus always spoke in love to others when they asked Him questions. We should do the same.

Look at the second part of the verse....evil pours out of the mouth who does not study the Word. I see this everyday on the news. This is how sin is promoted....because of our ignorance of what God says we are to do and not to do. From what I see in our nation today, much more evil is coming out of peoples mouth than righteousness...it can change but only by knowing what God's Word says!

So are ya studying? No better time to start than now!

Have a great weekend!
