Proverbs - Wisdom for Life预览

Take a look at these famous movies but with one letter missing in the title.

• “WALL-E” missing one letter becomes “WALL.”
• “Beauty and the Beast,” with one letter missing, becomes “Beauty and the Beat”.
• “Finding Nemo” with one letter missing becomes “Finding Emo.”
• “Alice in Wonderland” becomes “Lice in Wonderland”.

With one letter missing in these movie titles, the whole meaning changes, and the story becomes completely different! That’s the power of words. Words create expectations of the story to follow. Words can evoke feelings and pictures in people’s minds. Words have the power to change the course of someone’s story. What does Solomon have to say about the power of words in the book of Proverbs?

We are wise when we know the power of our words. Our words have the power to create and build up, or they have the power to destroy and tear down. Our words can give meaning and hope to others. Our words can set ourselves and those around us on a path towards life. What story are you telling with your words? A story that is full of hope and a future with God, or a story that is defeated and without hope? God’s Word gives us wisdom for life.
