Proverbs 26 speaks plainly about something that keeps conflict alive: adding fuel. Strife rarely survives on truth alone—it survives on repeated retelling, assumptions, side conversations, and stirring.

Strife rarely survives on truth alone—it survives on repeated retelling, assumptions, side conversations, and stirring. “A talebearer” isn’t just someone who lies. It can be

Nightly Devotional — Proverbs (Day 25 of 31) Proverbs 25 — Theme: God’s timing is wisdom Scripture (NKJV) Proverbs 25:11 “A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold In settings of silver.” Reflection Not every true thing needs to be said right now. And not every strong opinion needs a microphone. Proverbs 25 teaches that wisdom isn’t only what you say—it’s when you say it and how you say it. “A word fitly spoken” is a word delivered at the right moment, with the right spirit,

A harsh comment. A cutting joke. A repeated criticism. Words can puncture the heart like a blade, and the scars can linger long after the conversation ends. But Proverbs 12 gives us a different picture o

Nightly Devotional — Proverbs (Day 10 of 31) Proverbs 10 — Theme: Words build… or words break Scripture (NKJV) Proverbs 10:19 “In the multitude of words sin is not lacking, But he who restrains his lips is wise.” By the end of a long day, most regret doesn’t come from what we did—it comes from what we said.
