DAY 4 OF 21 · Wisdom for daily life
Wisdom in Our Words
Wise speech is truthful, restrained, and useful to the hearer.
PRIMARY PASSAGE
Proverbs 10:18–21
Read this passage slowly in your Bible before continuing. My Daily Altar uses the King James Version for its English Scripture experience.
BIBLICAL CONTEXT
Listen to the passage on its own terms.
Proverbs repeatedly connects many words with increased risk. Wisdom does not merely avoid lies; it learns when speech will nourish and when silence is better.
Reflect
Which relationship most needs greater care in my words?
Respond
Before one difficult conversation, ask whether your words are true, necessary, and gracious.
Pray
Set a watch before my mouth, Lord, and make my words instruments of life.
