Proverbs 25

What stood out today:
11 A word aptly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silver.
15 Through patience a ruler can be persuaded, and a gentle tongue can break a bone.

My response: Jesus, words are powerful, especially yours. You are the LOGOS of God. You are the centerpiece of the written word. Your words spoken in the Gospels cause men to be silent and in awe. Jesus, as you become more pre-eminent in me may your words flow from my mouth, may they be heard as, “apples of gold in settings of silver.” May your gentleness, patience, and kindness be powerful and evident to all. Lord God, by Christ, may you be Glorified in me today?
